As time passes since the enactment of the FMLA, the list of areas of
contention and litigation grows. Two of the hottest areas of FMLA litigation are
whether the employee gave adequate notice of the need for leave (does the
employer have to be a mind reader?) and how to get medical information to
confirm a serious health condition. This Webinar will address these threshold
issues of FMLA leave entitlement.
- What notice must an employee give of his or her need for FMLA leave?
- What constitutes adequate notice?
- Examining cases where notice was not adequate
- What medical information can you request to support the need for leave?
- How to handle an employee's failure to provide medical certification
- What to do if an employee submits an incomplete medical certification
