Why Should You Take This FMLA Compliance Update Online Anytime Course?

FMLA disputes are among the Top 5 issues that land companies in the courtroom. It's been a big part of HR departments for ten years now and it has only grown in importance. The number of requests for FMLA leave has risen dramatically. The number of employees affected by it has increased. Are you prepared? 

The concept of intermittent FMLA leave is great for your employees. But it's also confusing. How can you be certain an employee is using intermittent leave fairly and not taking advantage of your company? Can you be sure, if you deny an employee intermittent leave, that your company won't be sued or dragged into court?

Our expert HR trainer will shed light on the murky history of intermittent leave. You'll get perfect clarity on the different types of leave your employees can take and what qualifies for each one. After you leave this program, you'll never have to wonder again if you've made the correct decision.

In just six short hours, we'll catch you up on months of FMLA research, clarify the "gray areas" of FMLA eligibility for each and every one of your employees, and determine exactly which medical conditions can be granted leave under the confusing triangle of FMLA, ADA, and Workers' Comp.
