As more states adopt sick leave laws, some organizations are using PTO policies to meet their sick leave requirements.
While this approach has its advantages, it’s also not as simple as it might seem.
Using PTO to meet sick leave requirements carries some potential pitfalls your HR team might be overlooking—making it possible to be out of compliance with the law even when you are providing the required amount of leave.
Join legal experts from SixFifty for a discussion on the legal nuances and complexities of combining PTO and sick leave policies, including:
- Key requirements and considerations for things like rollover, payout at separation, record-keeping, hour-tracking, caps, and more
- How unlimited vs. flexible and fronted-loaded vs. accrued leave come into play when using PTO to meet sick leave requirements
- Tips for drafting a PTO policy that’s bundled with sick leave—including whether it makes sense to use an “all-in-one” policy or utilize state-specific addenda
Live attendees of this webinar are eligible for 1.0 credit hour toward their HRCI and SHRM recertification.
