Session 2: Write (or Revise) Your FMLA Policy

No step in the FMLA compliance process is more important than creating or revising your organization’s policy on Family and Medical Leave.  With a well-developed FMLA policy, an organization can make decisions systematically and consistently; without one, an organization is left with case-by-case decision-making and opening the door to legal problems.

In this session you will learn:

· The 7 Essential Topics You Must Cover in Any Time-Off Policy including PFMLA;

· The Structure of Your FMLA Policy;

· Cautionary Tales:  What FMLA lawsuits tell us about policy mistakes;

· Policy Differences:  State leave only or state and federal leave combined;
