This CE module covers a process for assessing an employer’s absence and disability benefits.  This includes sick leave, annual leave, administrative leave, short term disability coverage, long term disability coverage, workers’ compensation and Family Medical Leave Act absences.  These benefits are often not integrated and can inappropriately penalize employees.  As a key part of employee wellness this approach to the re-design of absence benefits can lead to high employee satisfaction and reduced costs for employers.  The module lays out a rational process for assessing these important benefits and also provides a range of options for getting more utility from these benefits while greatly supporting personal wellness choices.  The primary implication behind this CE module is that employers need to take an objective look at how these benefits fit together and determine the likely impact they have on employees and their well-being.
