Leave of Absence Administration

If you want to get out from under the required paperwork involving FMLA, PWFA, OFLA, and CFRA, and how it all intersects with CO Paid FAMLI, WA Paid Leave, Paid Leave Oregon, and CA Paid Leave, let our Leave of Absence Administration team take on the responsibility. We ensure all regulatory requirements are met for denials, approvals, gathering certifications, and tracking leave time.

We have developed a unique and personalized approach to administering LOA programs for the organizations we partner with. For many employees taking LOA, it can be an overwhelming process if it is for their own serious health condition or for a loved family member. The individual is already concerned about a serious enough health condition to require time off of work, they have little time to understand the intricacies of our regulatory driven state and federal leave programs.

SMJ Consulting helps by working closely with your employees to explain the processes around leave, what documents are required, then the documents must be returned, and the consequences of not provide the supporting documentation. We have the time and expertise to help guide your employees through the process of applying for, qualifying for, and returning from a LOA.

We track every interaction with an employee so that there is a record of all communications and required documentation.

For those who have been involved in administering leave, you know that there are timelines that must be followed to stay in compliance with the law, particularly under the FMLA. Failing to meet your obligations as an employer under these laws can be seen as denying or interfering with an employee’s right to take protected leave. SMJ Consulting can help you avoid this problem by taking the burden of paperwork off the desks of your already busy human resources or administrative professional.

We can also track leave time on a weekly basis to ensure that the employee stays in contact with a company representative on a regular basis. Statistics have shown this helps an employee remain engaged with the company and more likely to return to work after their leave is over. Over time, SMJ Consulting gets to know those employees on leave and can help make taking a LOA from your organization a smooth and stress free process for your valued employees.
