Workers’ compensation, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) absences, and unemployment claims are often managed as separate programs. While these benefits typically do not operate simultaneously, they can intersect at key points in the claim lifecycle, creating compliance risks, cost inefficiencies, or operational challenges when not properly coordinated.
