FMLA Intermittent Leave: Compliance Workshop
“Intermittent leave is the single most serious area of friction between employers and employees seeking to use FMLA leave.” – U.S. Department of Labor
Confused about how to manage employee requests for unscheduled, intermittent FMLA leave? Feel taken advantage of by employees who’ve learned to game the so-called “Friday-Monday Leave Act”? You’re not alone.
Some of HR’s most thorny, legally risky situations involve employees' use (and abuse) of FMLA leave taken in small bites. The amount of detail and timing necessary to administer these leaves can cause even the most seasoned HR professionals to scratch their heads.
Find out how to prevent and correct FMLA compliance problems and effectively manage all types of FMLA intermittent leave issues in just 75 minutes, with FMLA Intermittent Leave: Compliance Workshop.
Speaker Kevin Roberts, an employment law attorney with Ogletree Deakins, will teach you how to:
- Identify, evaluate and resolve issues related to administering intermittent FMLA leaves
- Confidently handle any intermittent FMLA question thrown at you
- Correctly use the tools employers have available to address unscheduled and intermittent leaves (certifications, call-in rules, attendance procedures and more)
- Manage the practical FMLA intermittent issues, not just the legal ones
- Leverage the power provided to employers in such situations (such as when you can clarify with a doctor the need for leave, and when you should get a second or third opinion)
- Apply lessons from important new FMLA court decisions. Previous rulings lay out a path for the best (and worst) steps to complying with intermittent-leave laws
- Understand ‘real-world’ FMLA scenarios. Kevin will hold a mirror up to HR and explain how to manage the real-world situations you face daily in administration of FMLA intermittent leaves
- Identify the key questions you should be asking each and every time an employee seeks leave
Employees are becoming well versed in the FMLA game … and you’re paying the price. While the FMLA gives workers the right to short, unscheduled leaves, it doesn’t give them unfettered ability to take random days off or arrive late without a good excuse. It’s up to you to know the law.
Stop feeling powerless in the face of FMLA abusers and confusing FMLA rules. Watch FMLA Intermittent Leave today!
