Complimentary DMi Webinar

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides leave for a broad range of situations, and some may be surprising.  Securing a complete and sufficient certification is key to effectively balancing employee leave rights and an employer’s attendance policy.  This comprehensive session covers key requirements for obtaining, reviewing, and managing FMLA certifications, including when to request additional information and what procedures must be followed in obtaining this information.

Through real-world hypotheticals, this presentation explores common challenges, such as incomplete or insufficient certifications, extension of leave recertifications, and fitness-for-duty assessments. We will also review common mistakes employers make when managing FMLA requests and effective strategies to mitigate legal risks.

Topics include:
1. Employee and employer responsibilities for FMLA certification
2. When and how employers should request FMLA certifications
3. Best practices for reviewing and validating leave documentation
4. Recertification guidelines

5. Fitness-for-duty certifications

This session is designed for HR professionals, managers, and legal advisors seeking to enhance their understanding of FMLA certification processes.
