NEW: Michigan Paid Medical Leave

The Michigan Paid Medical Leave Act (PMLA) requires employers with 50 or more employees (regardless of where they are located or how many hours they work) to provide eligible nonexempt employees with up to 40 hours of paid sick leave each year to be used for their own illness or a family member’s illness, for absences related to domestic or sexual violence, for school or workplace closings related to a public health emergency, and for the employee’s or employee’s family member’s exposure to a communicable disease. The law is effective March 29, 2020.

This handbook policy is optional but recommended.

UPDATE: Equal Employment Opportunity

The Handbook Builder has been enhanced to allow users to easily add the disability accommodation—Accommodations for Individuals with Disabilities—into the EEO policy. The language can be added during the interview process by checking the box to confirm that you wish to “add expanded language to the standard EEO policy.” The content is now coded to populate your EEO policy with the company term and contact that you identify in the interview.

New York City Pregnancy Accommodations

Please note, we recently corrected a technical issue in this policy and suggest you update the policy in your handbook builder.

This policy has been added to the New York Handbook Builder. It applies only to employees located in New York City. The policy is optional but we strongly recommend including it in your handbook due to enforcement guidance issued by the New York City Commission on Human Rights.

UPDATE: New York State Paid Family Leave

As of January 1, 2018, eligible employees are entitled to up to eight (8) weeks of paid family leave within any 52-consecutive-week period. PFL benefits are financed solely through employee contributions via payroll deductions.

NOTE that this policy has been updated to reflect recent guidance. Most significant is the addition of a final paragraph in the policy dealing with questions or complaints about Paid Family Leave.
