• Maintain accurate and confidential leave, medical, and workers’ compensation records.
• Coordinate return to work documentation and communicate appropriate status changes to HR, Benefits, and Payroll.
• Track employee benefit premiums and arrears during leave and coordinate necessary payroll status information with Benefits and Payroll.
