Course Description
Dont let fear of litigation stop you from fighting FMLA misuse.
Each year the federal Family Medical Leave Act helps millions of American workers cope with suffering from serious health conditions, or caring for ill family members. But as a frontline supervisor, business owner, or HR administrator, you know the law has a dark side. Do you feel increasingly helpless to control unwarranted FMLA absenteeism for fear of being sued?
FMLA misuse means poor productivity, low workplace morale, and increased stress for managers
The FMLA opens the exit doors to unscrupulous workers who take advantage of the law, and your company, by requesting leave for not-so-serious health problems, or worse, by taking intermittent leave for conditions like “Monday/Friday-itis.” Unfortunately, the law’s vague language only makes if harder for you as a manager to police. Let our expert instructor shed new light on the law’s provisions.
Employers have rights, too
Enroll in this information-packed, one-hour audio conference and learn what your rights are as an employer to fight FMLA abuse. “Rein in FMLA Abuse” will teach you strategies to make sure only your employees who truly need the FMLA are the ones taking advantage of it.
