The Details of Your Coverage Plan Matter

By: Brady Bizarro, Esq.

Employers face many, many regulatory burdens. There is an ever-increasing number of federal regulations to abide by (although that might change), and each state maintains its own set of regulations. This can get very complicated. The family and medical leave laws are a prime example of this. In Oregon, for example, an employee can be eligible for up to 36 weeks of leave under certain specific conditions. It is essential that employers understand the eligibility criteria involved to avoid coverage gaps with a stop-loss carrier.
