| Description: |
'In January, employers across the country were hit with brand-new updates to the Family and Medical Leave Act.
These new leave rules – which ran a mind-numbing 762 pages in the Federal Register – make sweeping changes to the way you handle many common FMLA situations:- Deciding what constitutes a “serious health condition”
- Scheduling (and accounting for) intermittent leave
- Requesting and confirming medical certifications and fitness-for-duty certifications
- Allowing employees to substitute sick leave, vacation days, and other paid time off for FMLA leave
- Handling questions about gaps in service
- Providing sufficient FMLA notice to your employees – and enforcing your policies that require workers to give you notice when they’re taking time off for FMLA reasons
- Dealing with absences related to the brand-new FMLA military caregiver rules
Join us for an in-depth audio conference on what you need to know now.
Learning Objectives:- What’s changed with FMLA rules, and what you need to do in response
- The new rules on medical certifications and doctor visits for employees with chronic medical conditions
- How to interpret and apply both the new and previously released changes that apply to military families
- When, under the new rules, you’re allowed to ask for a fitness-for-duty evaluation
- The new restrictions on your supervisors, which were designed to enhance employee privacy
- What the new changes mean for your perfect attendance programs
- What you can do – and what you should never do – when reviewing and investigating potential FMLA abuses by your workers
- The changes to the notice requirements – and why they’re considered good news for employers
- The most common mistakes many employers have already made with these brand-new FMLA regs (and how you can avoid repeating them!)

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
