For over 30 years, the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) has befuddled employers and leave administrators. Additionally, over the years, myths have developed regarding the law and how to comply with it. From employer coverage of the law to returning an employee after leave, and everything in between, some myths have been perpetuated.
In this session, some myths we will address include the following compliance aspects:
- Employer coverage
- Qualifying reasons for leave
- Intermittent leave
- How much FMLA leave employees get, and
- Reinstatement
We will also reserve time to take YOUR FMLA questions!
