FMLA Training for MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS

Simply put, the uninformed manager or supervisor who does not know the basics of leave rights can create significant liability for FMLA violations.  In this session, we will concentrate on giving managers and supervisors the basics of the Family and Medical Leave Acts in plain talk, their obligations under the law and the “dos” and “don’ts” of dealing with the FMLA. We’ll also cover the “Bermuda Triangle” of leaves:  FMLA, ADA and Worker Compensation.  The session will begin and end with a 10 problem self-test on FMLA.

Managers and Supervisors will learn:

· The Supervisor’s Legal Responsibility in FMLA as an “Agent” of the Company;

· An Overview of Laws Creating Leave Rights;

· What the Cases Tell Us About Management Mistakes;

· Working with Your HR Professional (if you are lucky enough to have one) on Leave Issues;
