HRCI & SHRM Approved Webinar | CEUs = 1.5 Credit Hours

Overview:

FMLA mistakes can cost big bucks and prevent your employees from getting the time and support they need to recover from illness or injury, bond with a baby, or take care of a loved one.

Many companies struggle with FMLA but following the rules actually makes it easier!

If you struggle in setting boundaries with your employees on intermittent FMLA, this webinar will help you understand the limitations and benefits to you and your employees. This training will help you master FMLA management — ensuring compliance while supporting your employees.
