Most employers offer some paid sick leave, and many states require it, but federal law, including the Fair Labor Standards Act, has never mandated it. President Obama's executive order changed that for federal contractors, and the DOL issued final rules to implement it.
This 60-minute webinar on the DOL's final rule on paid sick leave for federal contractors walks through the requirements, which are less simple than they look. You'll learn how to calculate available leave under the executive order, when unused leave carries over to the next year, and whether leave must be paid out at termination.
The session also covers what information you may request when an employee asks for leave, where the regulations conflict with the Family and Medical Leave Act, and suggested policies.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Federal contractors must follow specific paid sick leave rules that go beyond what most state laws or company policies require. Getting accrual, carryover or documentation wrong can put a contract at risk.
This session suits federal contractors, HR managers and directors, business owners, management consultants, legal professionals and general counsel, supervisors, and payroll staff and executives.
