Overview

BONUS: Despite the fact that the vaccine mandate is not going into effect, employers can still legally require their workers to get vaccinated as a condition of employment. When you register, you’ll receive a FREE COVID-19 Vaccination Paid Leave Policy template which can be customized to create a paid leave policy for COVID-19 vaccinations that best fits your organization.

Managing leave in the new normal has come with many challenges. But one thing that remains constant is the need for employers to ensure that all HR staff and all managers who deal with employee leave requests are well-versed in the finer details of one of the trickiest employment laws.

HR professionals, in particular, should understand who is eligible for leave, how much they’re eligible for, how you track FMLA absences, and how intermittent FMLA leave is managed.

Administering FMLA leave can be made easier if you have a clear procedure that employees understand and can easily utilize when the need for leave arises. Additionally, HR professionals must understand the various forms and deadlines for remaining compliant under the FMLA, in addition to other federal laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and workers’ compensation claims.

Become a master of the FMLA and simplify your leave program by uncovering the basics of the FMLA in one of our most popular virtual master class, where you’ll learn:

• How to determine FMLA eligibility quickly and easily;
• What qualifies as a serious health condition;
• Tips and guidance for “gray area” conditions, including multiple concurrent conditions;
• The “do’s and don’ts” of return-to-work certifications;
• Handling suspected FMLA abuse without running afoul of the law;
• How to manage intermittent and reduced-schedule leave;
• How the FMLA and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) interact;
• And more!

Attendees will also receive 60-day access to the on-demand recording of this course.
