Federal + Louisiana

FMLA and Louisiana leave law, tracked for you.

Sentel runs federal FMLA and Louisiana-specific leave law as one engine. Every deadline calculated, every notice generated, every case audit-ready: for HR teams without a legal department.

What Sentel handles in Louisiana

Federal FMLA + Louisiana overlay run side-by-side. No spreadsheet handoffs. No "we'll figure that one out manually."

Federal FMLA

12-week entitlement math

Rolling 12-month lookback, shift-aware hours math (per DOL FMLA2025-02-A), eligibility check on day 1 of notice, designation deadlines in business days per 29 CFR 825.300(d)(4).

Audit-ready by default

DOL export in one click

Every case generates 12 documents per 29 CFR 825.500 retention requirements. If Louisiana HR gets a DOL inquiry, the file is one button.

Personal liability shield

Personal-liability shield

HR managers can be personally sued under FMLA (Graziadio v. Culinary Institute of America, 2d Cir. 2016; Haybarger v. Lawrence County, 3d Cir. 2012). Sentel closes the documentation gaps a manual process misses, so the record of what you decided and when exists before anyone asks for it. Not legal advice.

Louisiana doesn't currently have a state-level paid family leave program beyond federal FMLA. Sentel still handles federal compliance + Louisiana-specific wage/hour, final pay, and protected-class requirements. Full state-law detail in the app.
