How often have you wondered whether the reason an employee is not at work might qualify for protections under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)? How do you determine if it does? These and other questions will be answered regarding all the reasons an employee may take leave under the FMLA.
This presentation will cover what employers need to know about qualifying FMLA reasons, including:
- What a serious health condition is and what it isn’t;
- Which individuals are considered family members;
- Leave for new children via birth, adoption, and foster placement; and
- Considerations for military family leave.
We will also reserve time to take YOUR FMLA questions!
