PTO or PT “Oh No!” – Ensuring Compliance While Maximizing Leave Benefits

When: 2pm ET, Wednesday, July 16, 2025
Duration: 60 minutes

Paid Time Off (PTO) and other forms of leave are significant employee benefits, playing a crucial role in preventing burnout, boosting morale and enhancing productivity. They are a powerful recruitment tool, offering considerable advantages at minimal cost. However, the legal complexities surrounding leave – both paid and unpaid – present challenges in compliance and can expose businesses to risks, including possible penalties and litigation. This is particularly challenging for employers operating across multiple states where differing regulations must be followed.

In this 60-minute webinar, attorney Robin Shea, a partner with the management-side employment law firm Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete, will address these issues and provide insights into handling leave and PTO. She will explore statutory requirements and effective strategies to manage compliance and mitigate risks, as well as share practical solutions for optimizing PTO as an employee benefit.

Attendees will learn:

  • Ways to approach PTO and unpaid leave to address legal complexities effectively
  • How to comply with leave requirements across multiple jurisdictions
  • Ways that organizations benefit by providing leave benefits
  • Steps employers can use to help employees use their leave benefits
  • And more!
