Back-to-School Season: What HR Needs to Know About Leave Management

As the school year kicks off, many working parents are juggling new schedules, childcare gaps, and increased demands at home. For HR teams, that means a spike in intermittent leave requests, flexible work accommodations, and family-related absences.

Now’s the time to:

  • Revisit your FMLA, ADA, and state leave policies
  • Ensure your systems are equipped to track intermittent leave accurately
  • Communicate clearly about available leave options and how to request them

A little clarity goes a long way—especially during busy transitions like back-to-school. Supporting your employees through these moments not only reduces compliance risk but builds loyalty and trust. At ConnectBridge, we help employers create leave programs that are flexible, compliant, and people-first.
