US Leave Navigator 🇺🇸 - Starter Edition

Most HR professionals are one leave request away from a compliance gap they don't know they have.

State sick leave laws have proliferated across 30+ states and dozens of cities. FMLA still applies federally. Disability runs concurrently. Paid family leave is expanding. And when an employee in California, New York, or Illinois submits a leave request, the question isn't just "do they qualify" — it's which laws apply, in what order, and whether your policy is actually compliant.

The US Leave Navigator — Starter Edition was built to answer those questions in seconds.

Browser-based, no login required, no subscription — this tool was designed by a CCP®-certified HR and Total Rewards expert with 19+ years of experience navigating leave complexity with executives, managers, and legal teams across the US.
