Employees are using, and in some cases abusing, FMLA leave more than ever. Frequently, employees are able to abuse FMLA leave because it is a perplexing, complicated statute and set of regulations that can render even knowledgeable HR professionals and supervisors confused. Further, even if the employer does everything right, employees are still ready, willing, and able to sue. This presentation will address those problems, providing an overview of the FMLA specifically from the employer’s perspective, covering:
- Putting the company in the best position to defend an FMLA lawsuit;
- Strategic thinking about compliance;
- Preventing “Friday-Monday” leave – making medical certification and recertification work for you; and
- Achieving FMLA administration that is routine, efficient, economical and does not interfere with operations.
Recent court decisions, “hot topics” in FMLA administration, and practical scenarios will also be discussed. This presentation is appropriate for all HR professionals, in-house counsel, and supervisors/managers whose company is covered by the FMLA.
