Leave Advisor

Our client is looking for an experienced Leave Advisor to join their team in Brentwood, Tennessee. This Contract position offers a dynamic opportunity to manage leave administration processes while ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations. The role follows a hybrid schedule, requiring in-office presence from Monday to Wednesday and remote work on Thursday and Friday. The position does have a potential for contract-to-hire for the right person.

Responsibilities:

• Oversee the complete leave management cycle, including continuous and intermittent leaves, from initial notification to return-to-work coordination.

• This is a very manual process, so the ideal candidate will have hands-on experience filling out forms.

• Administer and ensure compliance with federal and state leave programs, such as FMLA, ADA, and other applicable regulations.

• Communicate effectively with employees to provide updates on leave status and clarify their responsibilities.

• Coordinate leave benefits with workers’ compensation and disability programs to ensure seamless integration.

• Work closely with managers to arrange modified schedules and facilitate smooth return-to-work transitions.

• Ensure accurate timesheet entries and maintain up-to-date records for all leave-related documentation.

• Support accommodation requests under ADA and collaborate with HR Business Partners to address employee needs.

• Manage additional time-off programs in line with company policies and legal requirements.

• Assist in drafting and updating leave policies to align with evolving regulatory standards.

• Uphold confidentiality and secure recordkeeping of sensitive medical documentation.

• Minimum of 3–4 years of experience in leave administration; 4–5 years preferred.

• Certification or specialized training in leave administration or HR compliance is highly desirable.

• Proficiency in managing California leave programs, including CFRA and PFL is nice but not required.

• In-depth knowledge of federal and state leave laws, including FMLA and ADA.

• Experience with the interactive process and accommodations under ADA.

• Strong organizational and communication skills to manage multiple leave cases simultaneously.

• Ability to maintain confidentiality and ensure secure handling of sensitive information.

• Familiarity with HR systems and tools for accurate recordkeeping and policy compliance.
