Creating a Parental Leave Policy

Our Creating a Parental Leave Policy course explores how you can create an effective Parental Leave policy for your company. Discover the difference between parental and family leave, the various Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requirements, as well as important statistics on the benefits of leave policies. We review the steps for creating your policy, which include research, getting HR input, determining who will be covered and when, and what process you will use for documentation. We explain how to do a cost analysis and determine critical points such as who is eligible for leave, whether it applies to full or part-time employees, and how long people need to be employed before they may benefit from the policy.

Our Creating a Parental Leave Policy course includes a video lesson, downloadable student materials, and a short online quiz to check your understanding.
