Leave Requirements: Key Issues for Multistate Employers

BARBRI

This CLE webinar will guide employers, plan sponsors, and counsel through the increasingly complex landscape of multistate paid and unpaid leave requirements and their interaction with employee benefit plan administration. The panel will discuss coordination of leave programs with health, welfare, and disability benefits, situations in which ERISA preemption may arise, recent court decisions and enforcement trends, and practical considerations for employers and their advisors.

Description

Multistate employers face an increasingly complex patchwork of paid family and medical leave, paid sick leave, and other state and local paid and unpaid leave requirements. Navigating these obligations requires employers to coordinate federal leave laws, state mandates, disability and wage replacement programs, employer-provided leave benefits, and employee benefit plan administration.

Most employers are focused on developing practical compliance strategies that allow them to administer leave programs consistently across jurisdictions while minimizing legal risk. However, other employers are seeking ways to minimize or avoid state mandates through ERISA preemption and other avenues.

This webinar will examine the evolving multistate paid leave landscape, key compliance considerations, the interaction between leave laws and employee benefit plans, and situations in which ERISA preemption may arise, along with recent litigation and enforcement trends.

Listen as our panel discusses these developments and offers practical guidance for employers, plan sponsors, administrators, and counsel navigating the leave and benefits landscape.
