It will tell the employer who is eligible,  under what circumstances and what the benefits are.

Managing FMLA leaves, extended leaves, intermittent leaves and recognizing and dealing with accommodations requests due diligence, understanding of the laws and compliance requirements for each. Oh, and let's not forget, solid documentation too!

We own a lot of policies. We write handbooks. We update handbooks. e set policies on everything from dress codes and attendance to PTO and FMLA policies. Because HR is in charge of all these policies, it's important that we review and revise.
