About this session
Getting pay right during a leave of absence takes more than good intentions — it means coordinating multi-state benefit programs, tracking policies that shift mid-case, and recalculating accurately every time something changes. Employers who get this right protect real money, stay compliant across every state they operate in, and build trust with employees navigating one of the harder moments of their working life. In this session, Seth Turner sits down with Nicole Shaffer, Director of Occupational Health and Wellness at Pfizer to talk through what that actually looks like in practice, not in theory.
You'll walk away with:
- A clear picture of why leave pay calculations have gotten harder to manage as paid leave laws expand state by state
- What separates employers who've got leave pay dialed in from those still catching errors after the fact
- How to spot the parts of your own leave pay process most likely to introduce risk
- A few sharp questions to bring back to your team to assess where you actually stand today
