Most employees don’t realize they may qualify for multiple types of leave protection simultaneously. Federal FMLA provides job protection, state programs can provide wage replacement, and short-term disability covers income loss — and all three can often run concurrently. Our leave planning guides help you coordinate every benefit available for maximum time off with the strongest protection possible. FMLA Docs is built for this — our providers can certify you for FMLA, state leave, and disability documentation in a single telehealth appointment.
