2019 - Dealing with Intermittent Leave Issues under the Family and Medical Leave Act

OVERVIEW
Intermittent leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act is when an employee takes frequent short absences for his/her serious health condition or the serious health condition of a family member. This arrangement can cause logistical concerns for employers, especially when attempting to maintain productivity. We will cover some of the key issues when dealing with intermittent absences, including how to proceed when there are concerns about possible abuse of FMLA leave.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Is your company following the requirements of the Family and Medical Leave Act when dealing with employees who take frequent intermittent absences under the FMLA? Failure to follow the law properly could expose a company to potential damages. This webinar will help you ensure that your company is applying the FMLA properly when dealing with intermittent leave.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
The Family and Medical Leave Act provides twelve weeks of unpaid leave for eligible employees. This leave can be taken in long blocks of time or shorter absences, sometimes even just part of a workday. These shorter absences, when taken for an FMLA-qualifying reason, are protected by FMLA as intermittent leave. Intermittent leave can pose several logistical problems for employers, especially concerning productivity and consistency.
