Not even the smallest company is immune to the common occurrence of medical situations that require leave from work. Simply knowing what regulations must be in place for your particular business is complicated.

Three levels of medical leave policies exist:

1. federal requirements
2. state requirements
3. corporate policies as stated in the personnel manual

These include, but aren’t limited to, ADA, FEHA, FMLA, CFRA, workers compensation, medical leave, pregnancy disability leave, kin care, and state disability insurance.

The absence of appropriate documented policies significantly increases your exposure to litigation and the probability of complications when medical leave issues arise. The controlling regulations that cover required documentation change frequently.

HRM Consulting maintains ongoing surveillance of all legislation and the resulting impact on business, advising clients on preparedness issues and requirements. HRM will also review your company manual then create, or work with in-house staff to compose and implement, any documentation and/or procedures necessary to meet all levels of compliance.
