Are you really in Compliance?
Heightened awareness of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) has increased cost and compliance risk for employers. Employees value the job and health benefit protection that FMLA provides. However, it creates administrative burdens that can tie up company resources.
ResourceOne provides organizations with comprehensive FMLA administration ensuring your program is effectively managed.
Challenges for Employers:
- Significant time is spent researching the most current state and federal legislative rulings
- Meticulous record keeping
- Burden of determining what constitutes a serious health condition
- Compliance with legislation

By electing to outsource the administration of FMLA leaves, employers can:
- Reduce absence related expenses through more efficient, automated administration and closer communication with the involved parties
- Positively impact the employee productivity and morale through fair and consistent application of FMLA legislative requirements
- Alleviate employees’ and supervisors’ concerns about privacy
- Provide consistent tracking, employee education, and employee correspondence
- Remain in compliance with state and federal FMLA laws

What is The Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA)?
FMLA provides for up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave within a 12 month period for eligible employees to attend to:
- The birth or adoption of a new child
- The serious health condition of a qualified family member
- The employee’s own serious health condition
- Additional new leave rights related to military service
Any employee who has worked at a company (with a minimum of 50 employees within a 75 mile radius) for at least one year (1250 hours) is entitled to utilize FMLA.
