| Description: |
Managing employee leaves is probably not your favorite part of your job. And intermittent leaves? Those can really make you tear your hair out.
How do you deal with Milo, who seems to have a full-day doctor’s appointment every Friday, but only on nice days in the summer? Or Roy, who uses just enough leave to make your life difficult, but not enough to ever exhaust his allotment? Or Donna, who regularly takes off for a few days with barely a moment’s notice, leaving you with coverage problems?
It’s not just the employees that make intermittent leaves trying. The law itself is confusing and difficult to interpret, especially following the recent sweeping changes to FMLA. Many HR professionals – even very experienced ones – have difficulty figuring out how to calculate intermittent leaves in the context of FMLA’s 12-week allotment, how to decide when the 12-month calendar begins, and more.
Learning Objectives:- How the recent FMLA changes affect your intermittent leave obligations
- Why you should consider a rolling calendar, and how to implement it
- When you can legally (and safely) deny an intermittent leave request
- How to best prepare for unforeseeable leaves
- The best way to investigate and discipline intermittent leave abusers - without crossing the line into harassment or retaliation
- What you can require in terms of advance notice and medical certifications from employees requesting intermittent leave
- When you can ask your workers for more detail about why they’re taking intermittent leave – and when you can’t
- When you can demand a second (or even a third) medical opinion – and who foots the bill
- How to transfer employees to different positions or change their work schedules to accommodate intermittent leaves, without disrupting your workplace or opening yourself up to liability

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
