Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of absence management in the workplace?
Absence management policies and programs help employers and HR teams manage, monitor, and reduce unplanned employee absenteeism due to injury, disability, stress, and more.
Absence management also helps reduce the costs associated with unscheduled absenteeism, including lost productivity, workload rearrangement, and non-compliance with leave laws.
What types of leave does absence management cover?
Absence management covers many different types of leave, including:
- Short- and long-term disability
- FMLA leave
- Military leave
- Jury duty
- Bereavement
- Maternity/paternity
Integrating the different types of leave under a comprehensive absence management program helps employers ensure a streamlined, compliant, and improved experience for HR teams and employees.
What is the Family Medical Leave Act?
Under the FMLA, eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per calendar year to care for a family member or treat a serious health condition.
Eligible employees must have worked for an employer for at least 12 months and 1,250 hours, and work at a location where the company employs 50 or more employees within 75 miles.
How has the COVID pandemic impacted absence management?
The COVID pandemic brought new challenges to absence management, including an uptick in unscheduled leave due to illness and the need to balance compliance requirements associated with an increasingly remote workforce across multiple states and countries.
