Peter Susser of Littler Mendelson, author of the Family and Medical Leave Handbook, will discuss his views and interpretations of FMLA changes. Recent changes to FMLA and the fact that the DOL is heading into a formal rulemaking process means that companies must closely monitor regulatory changes and adapt their internal policies and practices to comply with evolving requirements. It is critical that employers review their current practices and take actions to be prepared when the new regulations are issued.
Many employers currently rely on outdated paper-based processes that hamper attempts to manage FMLA leave. Automated solutions, however, provide visibility into all areas of absenteeism. These solutions allow HR professionals and senior financial managers to accurately manage policies to help ensure compliance, identify absenteeism trends and abuses, and control the costs of absenteeism.
Toni Kellam, Senior Solutions Consultant from Kronos will discuss what organizations need to look for in an automated solution for FMLA management. Automating policies, whether old or new, is a three-step process: capture, comply, and control. And the cost savings can be sizeable. For example, Nucleus Research determined that the city of El Paso had achieved an ROI of 463 percent, with a payback of only three months, by implementing a Kronos automated leave solution. Benefits included reductions in payroll overpayments through improved FMLA management, reduced insurance costs and legal fees, and avoidance of hiring additional employees, as well as the indirect benefits of increased productivity.
