ABOUT THE EVENT

Most HR and benefits professionals would likely agree that when it comes to managing FMLA it’s easier said than done. It just isn’t as straightforward as it was intended to be. There seem to be obstacles every step of the way − from establishing reduced work schedules and initial physician certifications and getting second opinions to recordkeeping, deciding whether to use the calendar year method or rolling twelve-month method for calculating FMLA leave and all the steps between. In addition, there are also the ever-present concerns over not running afoul of related military caregiver and state requirements along with how to define a “serious” health condition.

All together the FMLA represents a significant challenge for HR and benefits professionals, and one that if not done correctly invites employee abuse and potential legal liability for all employers. Please join Melissa Fleischer, attorney at law, as she provides a comprehensive analysis of the requirements set forth in the FMLA relating to leave of absence and offers a step-by-step plan of action when employees are out on a leave of absence that is in compliance with legal requirements. In addition, Ms. Fleisher will also discuss best practices for administering the FMLA in your workplace.
