INFORMATION
Training Overview

Avoid FMLA lawsuits by knowing the facts. Learn how to address employee requests for leave.

Employees often request leaves of absence at the end or beginning of the year. Now is the time to update your policies and procedures to ensure compliance.


Department of Labor regulations specify employer requirements for Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) communications, education, and notification. In addition, medical certifications have defined timeframes and administration requirements. 


You and your management team must understand the current FMLA process, forms, and protections to help employees care for themselves and their families. It is critical to follow the rules to avoid lawsuits and government complaints filed against your organization.
