Description:

When an employee requests leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), do you know what to do? As an employer, do you know what you are required to provide?  Having an overview of the FMLA can assist you complying with and applying the act in your organization.

In this webcast, you will:

• Learn the history of the FMLA, which was passed in 1993, and significant updates to the act
• Define some of the key terms and phrases involved, including “parent”, “qualifying event”, “serious health condition”, and “exigency leave”
• Understand your statutory responsibilities as an employer, some of which are time-sensitive
• Review recent court cases involving the FMLA
