CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
To support human resources professionals as they navigate the
complexities of leave management, employee benefits leader Unum
(NYSE: UNM) now offers a range of leave resources on its website.
Content includes a white paper, Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) employer
handbook, FMLA compliance quiz and an original report spotlighting new
research on adult caregiving in the workforce.
“Maintaining compliance with the ever-changing laws and company policies
regarding FMLA, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), paid family
leave, and Disability Benefits Law (DBL) can be complicated and
time-consuming for a company’s human resources team,” said Angel
Bennett, director of leave management at Unum. “These new resources on
Unum’s dedicated leave site can help point HR professionals in the right
direction.”
Some resources available for download at the leave site include:
- Leave
by Examplewhite paper. This detailed report provides
an overview of worldwide leave trends, overview of the parental leave
landscape in the U.S., how leave expectations are changing, benefits
of leave for both employees and employers, a review of challenges
faced in administering a leave program, and a discussion of solutions.
- FMLA
Employer Handbook. An easy reference document to help navigate
the complexity of the FMLA, this document provides clear definitions
on employee eligibility, qualifying conditions and employee rights and
obligations. It also contains detailed explanations of employer
responsibilities including health benefits and return to work, as well
as how to manage intermittent leave and avoid the pitfalls of
non-compliance with state and federal laws.
- FMLA
Compliance Quiz. This 10-question, multiple-choice,
interactive quiz presents a variety of FMLA scenarios that a HR team
can potentially face, including state leave requirements, return to
work policies and qualifying conditions.
- 2018
Caring Report. This new report published earlier this month
details how caregiving responsibilities can take emotional, physical
and financial tolls on the caregiver and result in lower productivity
and engagement at work. Findings include input from caregivers of
adult family members across the Baby Boomer, Gen X and Millennial
generations.
To further round out its leave management offering, earlier this year,
Unum introduced a leave management solution to new and existing
customers to help better manage their leave programs. The LeaveLogic platform
allows employees to create a leave plan which consolidates all leave
benefits and lists the tasks needed to ensure proper leave planning and
a successful return to work. It also educates the HR manager by
delivering training on supporting the employee through their leave event.
More information LeaveLogic and Unum’s leave management services can be
found on the company’s leave
products page.
