AN EMPLOYER´S GUIDE TO EMPLOYEE LEAVE
If you ever thought that understanding leave policies was impossible, then here´s the perfect guide for you. An Employer´s guide to employee leave is an informative tool for everyone in the workplace. It provides a variety of detailed information on the different types of "leaves" available to employees, and the obligations that employers have in grating leave.
What Does This Report Cover?
Although the title calls this report an "employer´s guide", it is also very useful for employees. The table of contents makes it easy to get to any of the many topics of interest in a matter of seconds. Over all, there is a discussion of a wide variety of leave issues that would be of interest to anyone who´s ever been sick or pregnant, in the military or called for civic duty. The body of the report is divided into four easy to read chapters, which are further sub-divided into different sections, neatly organized with headings. This information is very well presented, detailed and easy to understand for the reader.
The specific topics covered include:
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) including:
ø What is FMLA
ø Who is eligible
ø Reasons for taking FMLA
ø Duration of leave
ø Compensation/benefits during leave
ø Interaction of FMLA with other laws
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act including:
ø Employer obligations
ø Sex discrimination laws
The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) including:
ø Reasons for taking this leave
ø Who qualifies for this leave
ø Compensation/benefits during leave
ø Reinstatement obligations
Civic Duty Leave (The Jury System Improvements Act and Attendance at Administrative Hearings) including:
ø Employers´ obligations
ø Duration/time of leaves
ø Reinstatement obligations
ø Compensation/benefits during leave
ø Protection of employees
An Employer´s Guide to Employee Leave goes through each of the above-mentioned topics, in a clear and concise fashion, dedicating an entire chapter to each subject. The chapters contain detailed information about the Acts, who they target, the duration and timing of the various leaves, issues about pay, an employee´s rights and the employer´s obligations.
The target audience is broad. Basically anyone who works in, or manages a workplace would have great interest in these details. Of great importance to the employer would be the information regarding violation of the employee´s right to take leave in appropriate situations.
Employers will want to pay special attention to this report, because it offers them a chance to avoid lawsuits and complications in the workplace regarding employee leave. Employees should take the time to understand these Acts so they know and understand their rights.
I find the title to be a bit misleading. It is called the "employer´s guide", when in fact this guide is useful for a variety of other individuals, including, employees, HR personnel, and even students who plan to enter the workplace in the near future.
