Joshua Seidman and Marlin Duro-Martinez to Present at the 2024 DMEC FMLA/ADA Employer Compliance Conference

The 2024 DMEC FMLA/ADA Employer Compliance Conference, from March 25-28, 2024 in Dallas, TX, will explore legal hot-topics and analyze various leave laws, how to ensure compliance with a compassionate approach, workplace accommodations, and more. On March 26, 2024,  Joshua Seidman and Marlin Duro-Martinez will present "Comparing PFL and PFML Mandates to Untangle the Patchwork." 

Understanding statutory paid family and paid family and medical leave mandates, which continue to evolve and proliferate around the country, is no easy task. Legal requirements often vary dramatically from one jurisdiction to the next, making one-size-fits-all policies impractical and often ineffective. To help you better understand the paid leave landscape, we will examine the existing state paid family leave (PFL) and paid family and medical leave (PFML) mandates. We will compare each mandate across select core topics such as employee eligibility, employer coverage, length of benefits, amount of pay provided to employees, funding mechanism, covered reasons for use, covered family members, intermittent leave, and more. Using these comparisons, we also will identify trends across the most recent state PFML laws and forecast where future mandates are heading.
