1-Hour CareerTrack Audio CD
Now Available!
Administering FMLA can be risky business and if you're caught unprepared,
you and your organization could face costly fines and extensive litigation. With the addition of the latest provisions
effective January 16, 2009, are you confident that you have complete clarity of FMLA law and its interpretations?
On November 17, 2008, the Department of Labor published its
final rule to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The changes are meant to improve communication between
employees, employers, and healthcare providers, so that the law operates more smoothly and that both workers and employers
have increased knowledge of their rights and responsibilities with regard to the law.
FMLA basics can be confusing: determining which employees
are covered, what benefits employees are entitled to, and how to better communicate the provisions of the act. The
newest regulatory changes touch on a variety of issues, from Military-Related Leave to Perfect Attendance Awards to
Employer Notice Obligations, and there are also new forms that have been published for FMLA requests. With all of these
changes to an already-complex law, are you confident that you can administer FMLA correctly and protect your organization?
Do you know the answers to these questions?
- Are all employees of a covered employer entitled to take military family leave?
- Can an employee take qualifying exigency leave if the covered military member is a stepchild? Alternately, can an
employee take qualifying exigency leave if the covered military member is a stepparent?
- What is "active duty" or "call to active duty" status?
- Who is a "covered service member"?
- Can an employee continue to use FMLA for leave due to a chronic serious health condition?
- Does an employer have to provide employees with information regarding their specific rights and responsibilities
under the FMLA?
- How much notice must an employee give before taking FMLA leave?
- May an employer contact an employee's healthcare provider about a serious health condition?
- Can FMLA leave be counted against an employee for his/her bonus?
- Can an employee use paid leave as FMLA leave?
If you answered I'm not sure or I don't know to even
one question, then you need to listen to this program to keep yourself and your organization out of FMLA trouble. This
