Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requests continue to increase in a rapid pace and compliance remains a never-ending concern among employers. FMLA can be confusing for some people and we might feel sometimes like we are going to lose our mind while trying to manage this process. This webinar will provide you with the tools, tips, techniques and resources that will help you understand your responsibilities and rights under this federal law. You will also learn the best way to combat Intermittent FMLA abuse. After completing this webinar you are going to feel very comfortable with FMLA, that the only thing you will probably ask as the end is “Where is my test on FMLA Compliance?

Course Objectives:

• How does the DOL manages FMLA extension requests?
• How should HR professionals manage FMLA extension requests?
• What about third-party administrators (TPA) if you out source your FMLA Administration?
• How does the ADA regulate decisions about reasonable accommodation requests?
• What policies should be in place to mitigate allegations of retaliation?
• What policy will decrease your risk when you integrate it with you Employee Handbook?
• What if you need to terminate an employee after they complete their 12 week FMLA Leave?
• How can the Employer protect themselves from hard decisions in rejecting FMLA extension requests?

Why Should You Attend:

When you add the complexities of other new mandatory regulations like leave regulations, reasonable accommodation and currently or soon to be legally effective, the possibility of FMLA overlapping with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), the increase of discrimination claims and wrongful termination allegations by employees, it is no wonder that this long time leave process is an administrative nightmare for Employers.

Many Employers are confused about what to do if an employee requests additional leave to manage their illness or their family member’s illnesses. Should Employers extend the unpaid leave on a case by case basis or should they limit those decisions across the board. Additionally, when does the ADA supersede FMLA? Is there reasonable accommodations that can be offered? Does the Employer risk violations when making these decisions?

Course Outline:

• What are the challenges with employee on FMLA leave who do not pay for their benefits?
• Is extended leave part of the ADA reasonable accommodations requirements?
• How can the DOL assist with FMLA extensions?
• How do Employer policies impact decisions of FMLA extensions?
