Since its enactment more than 25 years ago, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) has created a host of compliance issues for HR offices. An area that still confuses HR offices and employees alike is what type of circumstances qualify for FMLA leave and what kind of documentation employers can -- and should -- require employees to provide. In this program, Dolly Clabault and Michelle Higgins from J.J. Keller & Associates will outline when employees are eligible for FMLA leave, what type of health conditions are considered serious under the law and how to document FNKA absences. You will also learn how to effectively communicate FMLA guidelines to employees and stay in compliance.
