| Description: |
The military leave rules under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are changing – again.
In late October, President Obama signed a law that re-writes the family military leave provisions of FMLA that went into effect earlier this year:- The new law gives your employees the right to family military leave for any “exigency” that happens when a relative is called into service outside the United States. (The previous rules applied only to reservists and National Guard members, not active-duty personnel.)
- It also expands the FMLA’s caregiver leave provisions to include not only active military service members, but also veterans.
Confused? It gets worse. These changes took effect on Oct. 28, but existing FMLA regs and certification forms haven’t been updated yet - leaving employers in the dark about the exact steps they should take to comply.
Learning Objectives:- Who’s now covered under the expanded exigency rules - and what “exigency” really means
- How you must apply the military servicemember caregiver rules now that the 26-week leave provisions cover situations involving veterans (not just active-duty personnel)
- The correct forms and paperwork you should submit or keep on file to document these FMLA requests
- What you can - and cannot - ask your employees who claim FMLA military leave
- The critical differences between standard FMLA leave and military-related FMLA leave
- How FMLA military leave relates to USERRA leave
- The types of notice you must give your employees about these FMLA changes

| 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. |
