FMLA Training Series: FMLA Compliance 2009: New Pitfalls, New Powers & Advanced FMLA Strategies: Tips & Tactics to Minimize Abuse and Limit Liability
2/15/2010
We have designed a TWO part Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) compliance webinar suite. We know how important it is for you and your company that everyone full understands the rights and responsibilities under the FMLA.
This year, more than a dozen important changes to the FMLA took effect ? from notice obligations to certification procedures. Some favor employers, while others strengthen workers' rights. But they ALL require you to make key changes to your FMLA policies and practices.
The traditional "honeymoon" is over. The Labor Department and the courts are getting tough on employers that declare ignorance of these changes. Do you want to be caught off guard in front of a judge ? or your boss?
The new regulations are a good-news/bad-news story: They open a whole new area of potential risks and legal hoops to jump through. But they also hand you some additional tools to protect your company and fight back against FMLA-gamers in your organization. This session explores both.
Plan to attend both of parts of our amazing FMLA compliance webinar suite.
