Session 3: FMLA Deadlines, Forms, Notices and Postings - The What, When and How

Connecticut and Federal law have been vastly different with respect to notices, forms and deadlines.  In this session, you will learn about the notices to your current employees, leave takers, and new hires you are required to provide and when they must get them, and the forms and posters you are required to use.

Among the topics we’ll cover:

· What State and Federal Law Say About the Forms, Notices, Websites and Handbooks;

· When the New Notice Obligations Take Effect;

· Notification to Job Applicants;

· Posting Requirements;

· The Federal Versus State Forms: What forms and what versions will be required by state and/or federal law;

· Notice by the Employee:  Timing, manner of providing notice and content;

· Notice of Eligibility for Leave;

· Rights and Responsibility Notice;

· Designation Notice;

· Serious Health Condition Certification: Content, follow up, recertification, employee’s failure to provide the certification;

· The Forms “Mistake”: What happens when you have not sent the notices to the employee;

· Record Keeping: What records must be kept and for how long;

· DOL’s Review of Records.
