Benefits for Your Employees, Compliance for Your Business
The implementation of a paid family leave policy gives your employees the opportunity to spend time with their families when they need to. If one of your workers becomes a new parent or needs to care for a loved one due to illness or injury, paid family leave allows them to do so without worrying about lost wages.
Creating a paid family leave policy that gives your employees this option involves accounting for your business’s needs, and the benefit requirements defined in the law. Solomon Law Firm, PLLC is available for assistance with ensuring your policy meets those requirements.
