Generally, an employer with 50 or more employees within a 75-mile radius of the location where an employee is based is subject to the FMLA. Any employer that is subject to FMLA can benefit from the use of LeaveSource® for FMLA administration. LeaveSource® helps employers keep in compliance with FMLA and other state mandated leave of absence laws by automating much of the labor intensive administration.
