Training Overview

Your Checklist to Comply with the New FMLA Clarifications. Learn how to administer leave legally.

On February 23, the Department of Labor published a new webpage and updated resources to help workers take time off to care for a family member. The Department also issued guidance about how FMLA relates to remote employees. These updates bring clarifications for employers that you must understand, along with the many details of the ever-evolving Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

Covering a wide range of situations, FMLA regulations are complicated. You need to adopt a step-by-step procedure to coordinate work schedules, obtain necessary physician certifications, communicate employer and employee responsibilities, and prepare the required documentation. Errors in leave management can lead to potential legal liability for employers.
