The 2024 DMEC Annual Conference, from August
5-8, 2024 in Nashville, TN, will offer a one-of-a-kind deep dive
into solutions and best practices for the challenges that leave and
disability professionals face each day. On August 7,
2024,Joshua Seidman and Renate Walker will present
"Parsing Paid Leave: Understanding Sick vs. Family
Leave Laws."
The paid leave landscape in America continues to evolve with
each passing year. In both the mandatory paid sick leave (PSL) and
paid family and medical leave (PFML) spaces, there are nuances in
terms of the type of laws that exist and the requirements those
laws impose on employers. Despite the many distinctions of PSL and
PFML laws, they are commonly conflated by both employers and
workers as interchangeable.
However, a close look at the two sets of laws reveals that this
is anything but the case. Compliance experts are here to help with
practical tips for employers of all sizes and industries on how to
understand where PSL and PFML do and don't overlap, and some of
the thorniest issues facing employers when navigating these unique
laws. Josh and Renate will leverage jurisdictions that have both
PSL and PFML mandates to explore the substantive and practical
nuances of these mandates.
