Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

At the start of 2008 employer responsibilities under the FMLA changed regarding members of the Armed Services and their caretakers. Are your supervisors up to date? For many organizations the FMLA is a legal minefield – one mistake from an untrained supervisor can create serious liability for the organization. Supervisors and HR professionals need clear, repeated and thorough training to appropriately handle all aspects of the complex leave process.
