2025 DMEC Virtual Annual Conference: Absence Eras Tour

Explore leave of absence laws and workplace accommodations through the lens of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Just as Taylor evolves through different phases of her career, employees experience various “eras” in their lives, such as dealing with illness, caregiving, or postpartum recovery. Leave laws protect their right to navigate these transitions without job loss. This session will equip employers with the tools to balance employee well-being and legal compliance during life’s transformative moments. It will provide an overview of legal frameworks that employers must follow to support life transitions, highlighting key laws like the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the expanding Paid Family and Medical Leave landscape. Other topics will include compliance risks, legislative trends, and the benefits workers are entitled to during times of change.
