As paid family and medical leave and other state-mandated benefit programs continue to evolve, employers face a growing compliance burden within their HCM environment. Each leave event can create downstream obligations-from tracking eligibility and monitoring protected leave status to coordinating with private plans and avoiding employment actions that could trigger retaliation claims. The recent Massachusetts PFML updates, including new private plan exemption procedures and a significant jury verdict in a PFML retaliation case, underscore that leave compliance extends well beyond administering employee leave.
