2020 FMLA Master Class:
Advanced Skills for Employee
Leave Management

With multiple locations throughout the year, the 2020 FMLA Master Class will teach you how to apply essential Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) compliance principles to successfully navigate tricky FMLA-related compliance waters, so you can consistently make the right call as to FMLA eligibility, notice and medical certifications, how to control and prevent FMLA abuses, and overall avoid expensive mistakes that could lead to lawsuits and costly fines.

Employee leave management is one of the biggest ongoing challenges for HR professionals. There are voluminous Department of Labor (DOL) regulations to grapple with and a steady stream of new federal court rulings on FMLA interference and retaliation being handed down each year. Led by experienced labor and employment attorneys, this class provides intensive instruction to help you master real-life FMLA challenges with insights into recent rulings, long-standing case law precedent, DOL interpretations, opinion letters, and regulations—as well as the trainers’ own experiences in advising clients—you’ll learn actionable examples on how to legally handle tricky FMLA issues that come up in daily work life.
