Paid time off, or leave, is a key driver of employee satisfaction, so it does not matter if you are in Las Vegas or Reno, ensuring a quality and appropriate leave plan is important. Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law and each state has their own specific variations, so you must ensure your company is in compliance.
