Partner Emily Cuneo DeSmedt is quoted in an article from WorldatWork’s Workspan Daily about the rise in state mandates for paid family leave and how that growth brings compliance challenges for employers, particularly those with employees in different states. Emily noted that variations in state mandates make it difficult for employers to set a paid family leave policy that will apply to all employees.
“Forward thinking employers are considering the details of their leave policies while also mapping solutions that address the compliance challenges this patchwork of policies, changing demographics, and varying expectations create,” she said.
