Joshua Seidman Presents at Disability Management Employer Coalition Conference

On August 14, 2023, Joshua Seidman presented at the Disability Management Employer Coalition (DMEC) Conference in San Diego, CA. The DMEC provides focused education and content for absence management professionals.

The country’s paid sick leave (PSL) patchwork continues to evolve and impose perplexing and burdensome compliance obligations on even the most well-intentioned employers. Add in the COVID-19 pandemic and the remote and hybrid work models still in effect at many workplaces, the PSL patchwork can seem more daunting than ever.  

Joshua's presentation, "Making Sense of the National Paid Sick Leave Patchwork," provided practical tips for employers of all sizes and industries on how to navigate the current PSL landscape, including how to handle teleworkers and proper payment of sick time. He also explored updates on the nationwide PSL landscape with respect to both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 PSL mandates, and select nationwide PSL compliance options for employers, including thoughts on “one-size-fits-all” and “one-size-fits-most” options.
