3-day Virtual Seminar

The FMLA - An Employer's Guide to Compliance and Employee Abuse

Overview

You're responsible for both stopping abuse and staying compliant.

If you've ever

• Noticed absences that magically line up with holidays or PTO
• Worried about retaliation claims when questioning suspicious leave
• Tried to enforce call-in rules only to be undermined by a "helpful" manager
• Wanted to push back on vague or late certifications but weren't sure how
• Faced an employee stacking FMLA, ADA, and Workers' Comp in the same year

then you're already at risk.

Why you should Attend

• Intermittent leave requests are skyrocketing and some employees use them to dodge overtime or extend weekends
  
• Managers approve texts, DMs, or casual requests that blow up your call-in policies
  
• Vague certifications ("stress," "can't work overtime") leave HR stuck
  
• Fraud is real but mishandling an investigation can cost more than the abuse itself
  
• FMLA abuse often overlaps with ADA and Workers' Comp claims, creating a legal minefield
