FMLA Employer Handbook
Information you need to know about navigating FMLA and ADA requirements, including eligibility, intermittent leave, and compliance issues.
When employees have productive time off, they have more productive time on the clock. We're committed to being your partner — from leave planning and preparation to helping your employees transition back into the workplace.
At Unum, we recognize that life doesn't always give you a heads up and that sometimes you have no choice but to face a challenge head-on. We believe that productive time off can lead to more productive time on the clock, and we're willing to bet that your employees agree.
FMLA, ADA, PFL, DBL — it sounds complicated, and it is. That's why we're here to offer expert assistance. Our Leave and Absence Management team can ensure that your organization is in compliance with the ever-changing laws and make sure that your employees are getting the time off they're entitled to — helping you avoid costly fines and legal fees.
