- Having No FMLA Policy
- Counting Light-Duty Work as FMLA Leave
- Silent and/or Untrained Managers
- Missed Notices
- Incomplete Certifications
This webinar will explore several of the most common FMLA mistakes made by employers today and will look at special issues raised by changes in the law.

Why Should You Attend
One of the greatest challenges the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) faces in enforcing the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is that too often, employees are unaware that they have rights under the FMLA, or that the FMLA even exists. Even for employees that are aware of the FMLA, there is an additional hurdle. The FMLA is very technical, unwieldy, and can be difficult to understand, even for experienced practitioners.
As employers face the uncertainty of the US Department of Labor’s announcement to increase Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) audits and enforcement, it is essential to ensure that your organization is compliant, and your employees’ well-being is protected.
