Learn The FMLA Compliance Rules And Requirements - And Earn An FMLA Certification!

FMLA usage is on the rise, and more and more employees are enforcing their rights through the courts.

When an employee misses work, it is the employer's responsibility to determine whether FMLA applies. You can't afford not to know the rules, so we'll teach you about how FMLA works with our FMLA training and certification program.

What Are The Key Areas - And Problems - For Good FMLA Administration?

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a crucial piece of legislation that provides eligible employees with job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons.

Effective administration of FMLA is essential to ensure compliance with the law and to support employees in balancing their work and personal responsibilities. Some key areas - and potential problems - for FMLA administration include:

• Communication and notifications
• Eligibility determinations
• Specialized rules applying to active-duty military families, school employees, and airline flight crews
  
• Determining "serious health conditions"
• Leave request processes
• Medical certification
• Intermittent Leave management
• Return-to-Work issues
• Coordination with other leave policies, such as employer PTO policies
• Documentation and recordkeeping
• Legal Compliance

By addressing these key areas and potential problems, employers can improve their FMLA administration processes and better support employees in utilizing their FMLA rights effectively.
