Managing employee leaves of absence has never been more complex. While the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) sets a federal baseline for job-protected, unpaid leave, states have introduced their own family and medical leave laws—many offering paid benefits and broader coverage.

Our experts explored how these laws diverge in eligibility, duration, benefits, and administration—and what that means for your organization. Attendees left with practical strategies to navigate this patchwork of regulations while supporting employees and minimizing risk.
