Whether your background comes from an internal HR team or a third-party leave administrator, this is a great opportunity to build expertise in employee relations, compliance, and leave management while supporting a collaborative HR team.

• Maintain confidentiality of employee information and sensitive medical documentation.
• Support audits, compliance reviews, reporting requests, and process improvement initiatives.

• Strong working knowledge of FMLA, ADA, disability administration, workers' compensation, and related compliance requirements.
• Experience managing multiple concurrent leave and accommodation cases in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to interpret leave laws, policies, medical certifications, and accommodation requests.
• Experience working with third-party leave administrators or managing leave programs internally.
• Strong communication, customer service, and case management skills.
• Ability to manage confidential and sensitive employee information with professionalism.

• Experience supporting leave programs for a mid-sized or large workforce.
• Exposure to employee benefits administration and open enrollment processes.
• Familiarity with HRIS platforms and leave management systems.
• PHR, SHRM-CP, CEBS, CLMS, or other HR-related certifications are a plus.

The team manages approximately 45 active FMLA cases and 10+ ADA accommodation cases at any given time, providing excellent experience for someone looking to deepen their expertise in leave administration and compliance.
