HR case management for small businesses
A practical guide to organizing HR requests, follow-ups, documents, and decisions when you are the whole HR team or operating with a very lean HR bench.
How to Track FMLA Leave for Small Businesses
Step-by-step FMLA tracking guide for U.S. small business owners and HR teams. Covers eligibility, certification deadlines, and compliant record-keeping.
What these guides are built to help you do
These guide pages are written for U.S. employers that need clearer HR workflow structure, not abstract theory. They explain how to document sensitive work, keep the next action visible, and avoid rebuilding the same case from scattered inbox threads and spreadsheets.
- Understand how a repeatable HR workflow should be organized
- See what HR should document as the case moves forward
- Move from a one-off question into a clearer operational process
How to use the guide library
Start with the workflow you own most often
Choose the guide closest to the recurring issue you are already managing, such as FMLA, ADA accommodation documentation, benefits renewals, or employee relations follow-up.
Use the sections to standardize your process
Each guide is designed to help you define what belongs in the case record, what the next action should be, and where manual tracking usually breaks down.
Move into product or templates when you need structure
If the guide matches a live workflow at your company, the next step is usually a use-case page, a template page, or the product page where the same work can be tracked in cases, tasks, timelines, and reviewed drafts.
How to Choose the Right Guide
Find the appropriate compliance playbook based on your specific FMLA, ADA, or employee relations workflow.
By Target Workflow
Select FMLA for protected block leave, or ADA for reasonable accommodations and doctor restriction logs.
By Documentation Risk
Review guides built around legal dispute mitigation first if you have active employee relations conflicts.
By Implementation Phase
Start with our help articles and basic templates if you are setting up your case hub for the first time.
