Understanding and managing leave laws compliantly is no easy task, especially when dealing with a global health pandemic. COVID-19 has impacted many areas of leave management:
- There are higher volumes of employees taking medical leaves and caring for sick family members, leading to manual leave processes being unsustainable. Many also need leave for quarantine.
- Some HR/Benefits teams have witnessed layoffs, leaving them with an increased volume of work which has to be completed with fewer resources (doing so manually is near impossible).
- Numerous, if not all, leave teams have had to go remote, which is incredibly difficult without a cloud-based leave software.
- Leave laws are constantly being updated and new leave laws are being added, so staying up-to-date is critical.
In these uncertain times, it's crucial to use cloud-based technology to manage the increasing leave volume and complexity! It's also important to know your state leave laws!
