FMLA Intermittent Leave: Minimize Fraud and Maximize Compliance
Course Description:
According to the Department of Labor report released on June 27th, unscheduled intermittent leave “is the single most serious area of friction between employers and employees seeking to use FMLA leave.” And rightly so, with its confusing rules and rampant abuse from unscrupulous employees, it’s no wonder FMLA is so challenging.
But with over $1.7 million in fines paid out in 2006, you’ve got to tread carefully! Refusing to grant FMLA leave, terminating an employee or discrimination can lead to an unwelcome appearance in court and costly violations.
Stop struggling with FMLA today and make sure your organization is handling intermittent leave correctly. Join CCM’s expert faculty in this audio program designed to guide you through this complex law. In just 75 minutes, you’ll understand your rights as an employer and discover:
