Master the FMLA: Confidently Manage Complex Regulations and Avoid Legal Risks

Does dealing with Family and Medical Leave Act requests make YOU want to take leave? It’s such a stressful and confusing part of your job as an HR professional that it just might. That’s why you need the FMLA Master Class, the premier FMLA training crucial for understanding and complying with FMLA regulations.

Master the essentials, and navigate the trickiest situations with ease

What exactly counts as a qualifying serious health condition? When can you require medical certification? How many hours of FMLA leave does a part-time employee have? How do you manage those small “incremental” leaves? What’s the best way to handle certification? When can you talk to the employee’s doctor? How do you coordinate FMLA with all those state and local leave laws?

These are just a few of the questions you may ask yourself in a given week regarding FMLA requests. Anniken Davenport, Esq., employment law expert and legal trainer, answers these questions and more while exploring the real-world scenarios that may come across your desk one day.

Avoid costly mistakes and comply with federal law

And many of those cases result in million-dollar verdicts or settlements — all because of a simple FMLA mistake at the HR or manager level. Plus, your employees have become experts at playing the FMLA game to their advantage. (It’s nicknamed the “Friday-Monday Leave Act” for a reason!)

This 4-hour on-demand training covers:

Find out how to prevent and correct FMLA compliance problems and effectively manage every step of the FMLA process. This on-demand training course is the ideal compliance training for anyone who handles FMLA as part of their job.
