Learning Objective

  • To analyze the complicated compliance requirement of FMLA.
  • To explain what to do when employees or employers make a mistake.
  • To discuss tips on how to communicate with your peers on the nuances of FMLA.

Course Overview

The Family and Medical Leave Act is probably the most complex piece of federal employment legislation ever passed.

Trying to administer FMLA creates many questions. The first two questions are,

  • “What type of leave is being requested?” and
  • “What documentation do I need?”

Then the question is: What is the FMLA request for:

  • Birth of a child?
  • Adoption of a child?
  • A block of time?
  • Intermittent?
  • Reduced Schedule?
  • Episodic Illness?
  • Chronic Illness?
  • Qualified Exigency?
  • Military Relative Wounded in Action?
  • For the Employee?
  • Employee’s Spouse?
  • Employee’s Child?
  • Employee’s Parent? 
  • Is it a worker’s comp injury? 
  • Is it a “Key” employee?
  • Do I need a letter for each situation?

Join this CPE Business Law course to discover answers to the above questions and understand the complexities of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

Major topics covered in this CPE course:

  • A Summary of the Family and Medical Leave Act
  • FMLA Communication Requirements
  • How to handle requests for FMLA?
  • Is it necessary for an employee to request FMLA?
  • How to track FMLA and stay in touch with employees on leave?
  • The proper documentation you need exceeds the minimum compliance standards.
  • The difference between all of the various reasons for FMLA and how to handle each.
  • Tips to ensure receipt of the documentation you need. 
  • Using electronic recordkeeping and reminders.
  • What to do if the employee cannot come back to work after their FMLA expires?

The presenters knowledge of the subject was amazing.OK Should practice with Moore on his presentation skills because, OK, he has some issues with filler words, OK. He was one most knowledgeable, OK, presenters that I have seen on the site, OK, but presentation skills need to be improved. I would gladly take another class with him even though he, OK, has some presentation issues.
