Leave Management Monday: Building Safe & Supportive Leave Policies

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, making it a great time to revisit how your leave policies support employees facing mental health challenges.

  • FMLA can apply – Eligible employees may take job-protected leave for serious mental health conditions.
  • ADA accommodations – Modify schedules or offer leave as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA.
  • Create a safe space – Normalize conversations around mental health and train managers to respond compassionately.

A strong leave process shows employees their well-being comes first, and ConnectBridge helps you manage the details.
