Leave Management Administration
GTM’s Leave Management Administration service helps plan, track, and handle employee leaves, including administration, claims management, return-to-work support, and reporting. The service is delivered via a secure, cloud-based solution and backed by a dedicated team of specialists who are SHRM Certified and FMLA Certified professionals.
Why Outsource Leave Management Administration?
Leave management administration is a time-consuming and complex process. Because of the increasing complexity of leave benefits and overlapping local, state, and federal laws, it is difficult for human resource managers to stay abreast of the nuances of leave administration. Changes in existing leave laws and policies are frequent and can change from one day to the next. Outsourcing to experts who are engrossed in the latest regulatory changes greatly minimizes the risk for non-compliance and avoids costly fines and lawsuits.
