Content Summary
With the rise of online learning, colleges and universities are employing more remote staff. Instead of leave teams being able to manage leave laws for just one state, it has quickly become 20 or more for many institutions. There has also been a sharp increase in both leave and accommodations requests over the past few years, with mental health as a major driving factor.
