Leave laws in states continue to change rapidly as does case law interpreting the proper management of leaves of absence.

This presentation will help you identify and define various leaves of absence for employees and provide a guide for what benefits may be required by those leaves, as well as what litigation risks there may be to mismanaging such leaves.
