Right now, there are more than 200 active state unpaid leave laws across the country that employers must comply with in addition to federal FMLA requirements. And in January of this year alone, 19 different states introduced at least one type of paid leave law. So, as the trend toward more generous leave benefits for U.S. employees gains momentum, employers are increasingly at risk for noncompliance. In this webcast, Ellen McCann, assistant vice president and special counsel for Unum’s employment law group, provides a midyear update on evolving U.S. leave laws and perspective on how HR professionals and their companies can stay ahead of the pace of change.
