How to Modernize and Automate FMLA Management

HR leaders are facing an ever-increasing number of employees asking for a leave of absence. Today’s workforce is also willing to ask for leave when they need it—in a recent survey, we found that 85% of respondents felt comfortable requesting and taking a leave of absence.

While leave managers are facing many challenges, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was recently reported by HR leaders to be their biggest struggle. This isn’t a surprise, given the FMLA’s finicky eligibility rules, regulations about notices and posters, and mountains of paperwork. When you multiply all that administrative work with rising leave requests, HR needs a lifeline. That’s where modernization comes in: using leave technology to reduce administrative work, automate complex calculations, and simplify compliance.

Our step-by-step guide will show you how automation and technology can streamline efficiency at every step of the FMLA process. See how leave technology can transform:
