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

  • 1 minute read

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
