Leave Administrator

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "What You Will Do" and "What You Will Be Challenged To Do". Could combine as "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Company Overview" maybe? It's not required but could be included if substantive? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. We can include sections like "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We have Pay: salary range $70,000 - $110,000. Schedule: Core Business Hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Remote, Full-Time. Benefits: listed. Also "Preferred Qualifications". Could be under "Qualifications" or "Preferred Qualifications". We'll create sections: About the role (maybe combine What You Will Do and What You Will Be Challenged To Do). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (Education/Experience). Qualifications (maybe combine required and preferred). Benefits. Pay. Schedule. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has content. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities, requirements, etc. Must not omit any. Let's extract content. From "What You Will Do": paragraph describing role. Then "What You Will Be Challenged To Do": list of bullet points (starting with Deliver a consistent... etc). Then "In this capacity you will be responsible for the following": another list of bullet points (starting with Manage the end-to-end...). Those are responsibilities. We need to combine them into a responsibilities list. Let's list each bullet: From "What You Will Be Challenged To Do": - Deliver a consistent, responsive, and supportive employee experience throughout the leave and accommodation process - Manage multiple leave programs while ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local requirements - Serve as a trusted resource to employees and managers regarding leave eligibility, processes, documentation, and return-to-work requirements - Coordinate effectively across HR, Payroll, managers, employees, and external partners to ensure seamless administration - Identify opportunities to strengthen leave administration processes, policies, and overall program effectiveness From "In this capacity you will be responsible for the following": - Manage the end-to-end administration of leaves of absence, including FMLA, short- and long-term disability, military, personal, parental, and other company-sponsored leave programs - Guide employees and managers through leave options, eligibility requirements, documentation, timelines, and status throughout the leave process - Serve as the primary liaison among employees, managers, HR Business Partners, Payroll, and GFT's third-party leave administrator to ensure timely and accurate coordination - Maintain complete and accurate leave records and track employee absences within GFT's HCM system - Partner closely with Payroll to ensure accurate processing of pay and time related to employee leaves - Review workplace accommodation requests and partner with appropriate stakeholders to identify reasonable accommodation options in accordance with the ADA, applicable laws, and company policies - Monitor changes to federal, state, and local leave requirements and recommend updates to policies and procedures to maintain compliance - Support the administration of benefits programs and annual enrollment activities, including vendor testing and employee communications - Maintain confidentiality and exercise sound judgment when managing sensitive employee information and complex situations - Identify and implement process improvements that increase efficiency, consistency, and the employee experience Now Education | Experience: "What You Will Bring To Our Firm": - Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field - 3+ years of experience in Human Resources, benefits, or leave administration - Working knowledge of FMLA, short- and long-term disability, leaves of absence, and applicable state leave requirements - Understanding of ADA workplace accommodation requirements and the interactive process - Strong attention to detail with demonstrated ability to maintain accurate records and manage multiple cases simultaneously - Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex information clearly and compassionately - Demonstrated ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with professionalism and discretion - Strong problem-solving, analytical, organizational, and customer-service skills - Experience working with HRIS/HCM and third-party benefits or leave administration platforms - Ability to collaborate effectively across HR, Payroll, business leadership, employees, and external partners Preferred Qualifications: - PHR or other relevant HR certification - Workday experience - Knowledge of workers' compensation requirements - Experience supporting leave administration within a multi-state organization Compensation: salary range $70,000 - $110,000. Salary dependent upon experience and geographic location. Featured Benefits: list: - Hybrid (in-person and remote) work environment. - Comprehensive benefits package including wellness programs, parental leave, and pet insurance, in addition to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance. - Tax-deferred 401(k) savings plan. - Competitive paid-time-off (PTO) accrual. - Tuition reimbursement for continued education. - Commitment to professional development, access to internal and external training programs, and support of active participation in professional organizations - Incentive compensation for eligible positions. Company Overview: we could include as "About GFT" maybe but not required. It's substantive but not a standard heading; we could include as "About the Company". However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could include Company Overview as a section maybe "About GFT". But we already have About the role. Might be okay to include but not necessary. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Company Overview has content, so we could include a section "About GFT". But we already have About the role; maybe we can combine? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should stick to those headings. So we will not add extra headings beyond those. Thus sections: About the role (prose from What You Will Do). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (Education/Experience). Qualifications (maybe combine required and preferred? Could separate Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications but we only have Qualifications heading. Could put both under Qualifications with subheadings? Not allowed; only headings are h3. Could we have two sections: Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? The instruction list includes Qualifications as a heading; we could also have Preferred Qualifications as a separate heading? Not listed but could be okay if we treat as Qualifications? Safer to have one Qualifications section containing both required and preferred, maybe label within

  or

  . But we need to preserve all info; we can list required qualifications under a
  and then preferred under another
  with a note. That's fine. Benefits: list. Pay:

  with salary range. Schedule:

  with remote, core hours, full-time. Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove those lines. Also remove "Location: Remote Core Business Hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM Employment Status: Full-Time" but we need schedule info; we can incorporate that. Also remove "Applicants in the County of Los Angeles..." etc (EEO/fair chance). Remove. Also remove "Unsolicited resumes..." etc. Also remove "Company Overview" maybe not needed as we don't have a heading for it; we could include as part of About the role? But About the role already has content; we could add a paragraph about company overview under About the role? Might be okay but risk of adding content not originally under that heading. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit company overview. So we need to include it somewhere. Since we don't have a heading for company overview, we could add a section "About GFT" but not in allowed list. However instruction says use headings for those specific sections; but does not forbid other headings? It says "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But to be safe, we could add a section "About the Company" as an h3. It's not prohibited. The instruction: "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use other headings as long as they are h3. We'll include About GFT. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule, About GFT. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not. Now produce HTML fragment. We'll structure:
