Paid leave laws can differ dramatically—even within the same state. And understanding how those laws apply to each location can be tricky.
With Location Notes, you can now add critical, location-specific context to better your paid leave strategy and compliance across your footprint.
By capturing these details in-platform, your team can reduce the risk of misinterpretation, increase visibility, and make more confident decisions.
Location Notes gives you the tools to navigate the gray areas of paid leave compliance with more clarity, control, and collaboration.
Use Location Notes to:
💬 Capture internal decisions: Record your company-specific leave decisions—like how you apply accrual caps or company policy exceptions—at the location level for easy reference.
📌 Document unique leave requirements: Add notes to highlight nuanced jurisdiction-specific leave considerations—like thresholds, carve-outs, or quirks your team needs to remember.
🔄 Flag pending updates or communications about leave entitlements or accrual methods
🔍 Filter locations with notes to focus on those requiring review or internal follow-up
🗒️ Add reminders or notes about communications with location managers or payroll teams
