Joshua Seidman and Renate Walker to Present at the 2024 DMEC Annual Conference

The 2024 DMEC Annual Conference, from August 5-8, 2024 in Nashville, TN, will offer a one-of-a-kind deep dive into solutions and best practices for the challenges that leave and disability professionals face each day. On August 7, 2024,  Joshua Seidman and Renate Walker will present "Parsing Paid Leave: Understanding Sick vs. Family Leave Laws." 

The paid leave landscape in America continues to evolve with each passing year. In both the mandatory paid sick leave (PSL) and paid family and medical leave (PFML) spaces, there are nuances in terms of the type of laws that exist and the requirements those laws impose on employers. Despite the many distinctions of PSL and PFML laws, they are commonly conflated by both employers and workers as interchangeable.

However, a close look at the two sets of laws reveals that this is anything but the case. Compliance experts are here to help with practical tips for employers of all sizes and industries on how to understand where PSL and PFML do and don’t overlap, and some of the thorniest issues facing employers when navigating these unique laws. Josh and Renate will leverage jurisdictions that have both PSL and PFML mandates to explore the substantive and practical nuances of these mandates.
