What if an employee goes out on FMLA leave and it turns out:

• His replacement is actually much better at the job?
• Or, his FMLA certification forms are late or incomplete?
• Or, his medical condition worsened and he can't return to the same job?
• Or, you suspect FMLA-leave abuse?

Can you terminate the employee … or must you actually give him a second chance – or even additional leave?

It may seem like firing employees while they're on FMLA leave (or have just returned from FMLA) will earn you an instant trip to the courthouse. But it doesn't have to end this way IF you know exactly how to handle such discipline or terminations.

On Friday, December 20, find out when and how you can terminate workers legally in our brand-new webinar, How to Legally Terminate Employees on FMLA Leave. Noted employment attorney Anniken Davenport will dissect the new rules, telling you:

• Why employees on FMLA leave don't have greater protection from discharge than other employees IF you can show they would have lost their job whether on leave or not.
• What to do if you discover – during FMLA leave – that the employee was doing her job poorly.
• When you can terminate an employee who used up her leave and isn't ready to resume her duties – and, more importantly, when you can't. (Hint: It depends on how soon she'll be cleared for duty.)
• What to do if the employee requests FMLA leave and she just started with your company.
• How to spot FMLA abuse and legally terminate the abuser.
• And much, much more!

FMLA lawsuits are incredibly costly for employers – and incredibly lucrative for employees (and their savvy attorneys). That's especially true if the employee was terminated. But that doesn't mean you have to accept poor performance – or FMLA abuse.

Just 75 minutes on December 20 can save you thousands of dollars in legal fees (or, worse, in legal verdicts) by teaching you how to legally handle employees who take (or have taken) FMLA leave.

Plus, you can ask Anniken your trickiest FMLA leave questions – and get custom answers to your specific challenges. And because this is a webinar, THERE IS NO LIMIT to the number of people who can listen in at one site. You can invite HR staff … the C-suite … in-house or outside counsel … or anyone else who deals with complex FMLA leave issues – whether approving it or managing it.

Stop letting employees run the FMLA game – take control of your compliance by learning how and when you can discipline and even replace employees on FMLA leave.
