The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) gave US employees job-protected leave for serious health conditions at a time when the country lagged other industrialized nations. Most employees use it properly, but a few try to abuse the system.
This 90-minute webinar on handling FMLA abuse explains why ignoring the problem backfires: good employees grow frustrated when they keep working while others misuse leave, and some leave as a result. After a refresher on the FMLA, you'll learn why employers should be proactive, how social media can reveal misuse, and how to spot and respond to triggering behavior, illustrated with case examples.
