About This IAML AudioPro ConferenceSM:
Recent changes to the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) have expanded coverage for new classes of workers and, in some instances, their relatives. In addition to
those recent changes, proposed regulations that may be passed before the end of 2008 will substantially impact key FMLA definitions, the procedures for
administering FMLA leave, the notice requirements, and the employer's right to medical information. The recent FMLA changes and proposed regulations also create new
issues for employers under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act.
Historically, it is nearly unanimous from employers that the Family Medical Leave Act created more problems, issues and potential liabilities than any other federal law governing employment and the workplace. Court decisions and the out-of-date Department of Labor regulatory environment haven't helped.
This presentation will address the impact these recent FMLA changes and proposed regulations have on issues like:
- Who is and is not covered under FMLA
- Notice and certification requirements
- Timeframes for different leaves
- Benefits and pension plan administration
- Interrelationship between FMLA and state leave laws
