Paid Time Off, Insurance and Disability Benefits: Employment Law Manual Reorganized and Expanded

Author: Tracy Morley, XpertHR Legal Editor

XpertHR has reorganized and expanded its already-robust employee benefits content to ensure our key resources are even more useful and accessible to our subscribers.

Specifically, the Life Insurance, Disability and Compensation for Time Not Worked section located in the Employee Benefits chapter of the Employment Law Manual was split into two sections:

  1. The Paid Time Off Benefits: Federal section helps HR professionals understand the value of offering different forms of paid time off benefits such as vacation days, personal days and holidays. Information that previously appeared in the Life Insurance, Disability and Compensation for Time Not Worked section, for example Sabbaticals, Jury Duty and Bereavement Leave was consolidated into the Employee Leaves chapter while other information, such as Paid Time Off Banks, moved to Paid Time Off Benefits: Federal.
  2. The Insurance and Disability Benefits: Federal section, with corresponding state sections, provides an understanding of different forms of insurance and disability benefits typically offered such as life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance and short-term and long-term disability benefits. The new state sections provide an in-depth analysis of state requirements for administering group life insurance benefits and the Temporary Disability Insurance Requirements for California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island.
