Simplifying the Family and Medical Leave Act

Providing protected leave to employees under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) helps balance the demands of work and home. It can also create compliance conundrums for HR to unravel. We will walk through tools, guidance and best practices to help navigate these challenges.  This training is intended for supervisors and other individuals who manage employees.

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law originally enacted in 1993 and amended in 2008 (and again in 2009). The overall purpose of the FMLA is to mandate that certain large employers provide a balance between the demands of the workplace and the needs of families by providing job-protected, unpaid leave to eligible employees. The FMLA amendments of 2008 and 2009 extended the FMLA to certain military-related situations. The amendments provide leave for qualifying military exigencies and leave for families of covered military members.
