FMLA - Know YOUR Rights
REPEATED FROM MONDAY AT 10:30am
It seems like we receive an FMLA request almost every day anymore. Continuous leaves are, generally, simple to deal with and very straight forward - it's hard to 'fake' an appendicitis! Intermittent FMLA, on the other hand, is an automatic, cringe worthy event. This session is designed to help the HR Practitioner avoid the 'cringe' by reviewing the tools we have at our disposal to remain compliant AND minimize potential abuse of the system. Know YOUR rights so you can effectively manage FMLA leaves with the least amount of 'cringe' for you and your managers!
Learning Objectives:
- Compliant and effective management of FMLA.
- Ease practitioner's anxiety over intermittent requests.
- Checklist for leave management.
In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
