| Description: |
2009’s sweeping changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) contain several provisions relating to requests for medical certifications. For instance, the regulations increase the amount of time an employer has to request certification from 2 days to 5 days after receiving notice of a worker’s need for leave.
The regulations also provide employers with greater leeway in authenticating medical certifications and allow them additional opportunities to request certain information from a medical provider. The catch? This leeway comes with increased compliance requirements. One small slip, and your organization could find itself in a huge legal mess.
Learning Objectives:- When and how to use the DOL’s new medical certification forms
- When you can and cannot contact a healthcare provider about a worker’s medical condition
- The questions you may ask a medical provider, and the legal line you must never cross when requesting medical information
- What to do if a worker’s documentation is incomplete, vague, or unresponsive
- When you can legally deny leave on the basis of an employee’s failure to provide sufficient and complete medical documentation
- The recertification challenges you could face in light of the new regulations
- When you may request a recertification
- The major effect the new regulations have on your requests for fitness-for-duty certifications
- Potential liability that could arise under the Americans with Disabilities Act if you mishandle medical certifications

| 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. |
