Leave of Absence Administration & Workplace Accommodations

Navigating employee leaves of absence and workplace accommodations can be complex, time-consuming, and carry significant legal and operational risks. I provide expert guidance to help organizations effectively manage employee absences while ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local laws and maintaining a positive employee experience.

My services include administration and support for a wide range of leave programs, including sick leave, family and medical leave, parental leave, personal leaves of absence, military leave, jury duty, bereavement leave, and short-term and long-term disability leaves and any other statutory leaves of absence. I work closely with employers to ensure leave requests are handled consistently, compassionately, and in accordance with applicable laws and company policies.

I also assist organizations in managing reasonable accommodation requests, including conducting and documenting the interactive process, evaluating accommodation options, coordinating with managers and employees, and helping employers balance business needs with legal obligations. Whether addressing medical restrictions, return-to-work situations, disability accommodations, or workplace modifications, I provide practical solutions designed to support both employees and the organization.
