Maternity Leave Policy

Recent reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggest that more than 60 percent of men and women in the labor force have children under the age of 6.   As a result, employers need to be mindful to create a good maternity leave policy that will assist with employee retention, increased productivity and protect against the risk of a discrimination lawsuit. 

If you are interested in how best to facilitate leave and the return to work of your employees, view the guide published on Inc.com the website for Inc. magazine where my Partner Anthony Hall commented on suggestions that would help any employer navigate the maternity leave minefield.  http://www.inc.com/guides/2010/04/maternity-leave-policy.html#

Such managers and employees are not only wholly mistaken, but they make such assumptions at their clubs’ significant peril. 

If you do business in the private membership club arena, this article would be of interest.  This article was originally published in the CMAA Premier Club Services Legal Newsletter, July/August/September 2009 edition.  http://www.hollandhart.com/newsitem.cfm?ID=1605
