Overview: The federal FMLA requires employers to grant eligible employees at least 12 weeks of unpaid medical leave in the event of an employee's serious illness or the serious illness of immediate family members. As much as 26 weeks of leave is available to families caring for certain military service personnel, in addition to leave to care for seriously ill or injured military personnel the FMLA. Military families may also get up to 12 weeks of leave for a "qualified exigency," which includes such circumstances as preparing for immediate deployment. FMLA leave can be taken in one continuous period of time or taken from time to time as needed. The issues that arise for employers include knowing, among others, when an employee has a "serious health condition" as defined by law and not by the employer's doctor, when an employer can seek verification from a physician that the employee still cannot return to work, and what notices employers must provide and when. This program is designed to provide an overview of the FMLA and the relevant regulations, to discuss amendments or modifications from the last few years, to discuss integrating FMLA with your other leave programs and to provide suggestions as to how to minimize employee abuse of this valuable benefit. Why should you attend: Virtually every HR Director in a company of 50 or more employees will have to administer FMLA leave. One of the most common complaints among employers, however, is that some employees will seek to abuse FMLA leave. Such abuse can impose significant cost upon employers in terms of time and money. This webinar is designed to provide a comprehensive view of the FMLA and provide pragmatic tips on structuring and administering your FMLA program, as well as addressing employee abuse. By carefully structuring and administering your program, you can minimize abuse and assure compliance with the law. Areas Covered in the Session: Who will benefit: Agenda: Day One Day Two |
