Time-Off Benefits

How are they usually categorized?

Time-off benefits can include: holidays, vacation days, sick days, personal leave, bereavement leave, jury duty, military leave, FMLA, sabbatical leave, etc...

How important are they?

Paid-time-off benefits have a tremendous impact on recruitment efforts, employee relations, productivity and, ultimately, on profitability. Companies face many challenges in maintaining paid-time-off benefits that meet the needs of their workforce and business strategies. Many leaves are matters of employer policies rather than statute. As a result, employer policies should be reviewed carefully and refined so as to deal with issues before they arise.

Administer fairly and ensure conformance with statutes

Where the employer has discretion on any aspect of a leave, it must administer the leave in a nondiscriminatory manner. The organization should confirm that the employee understands the terms of the leave. Policies and employer practices need to conform with applicable statutes in order to reduce risks, costs and exposure to class action lawsuits.
