        Paid family and medical leave benefits will be available to employees on May 1 of this year, but there remain many difficult questions and circumstances that employers are still struggling to navigate. In this webinar, join attorneys Tawny Alvarez, Erik Peters, Elizabeth Johnston, and Hannah Owings Saturley for a discussion about some of the more tough-to-navigate elements of the law, including:

        • PFML’s interactions with other forms of paid leave
        • Differences in use of private plans versus the State plan
        • Intermittent leave using PFML
        • Supplementing benefit time with PTO, and
        • Ensuring that employers are making the right representations about benefits to employees.

        This course is designed for professionals who have a working knowledge and foundational understanding of the PFML statute and regulations, focusing on more difficult nuances of PFML for employers.

        This course has been approved for 1.0 CLE credit and 1.0 SHRM credit.
