FMLA Training Courses

When the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) was passed, it was touted as one of the greatest bipartisan acts of the late 20th century.

A win for the American worker, FMLA allowed employees to take unpaid leave in order to care for immediate family members in their charge without penalty from their employer.

What no one could anticipate was how complicated the rules and use of FMLA would be. For instance: Who is considered an immediate family member? How does a company cover someone's workload when he or she is gone? Can an employee use FMLA in pieces or must it be used all at once?

For HR professionals, FMLA training seminars are vital to the legal and ethical administration of FMLA leave.
