About this Program:
The Department of Labor adopted new rules in January, 2009 implementing the military leave requirements and revising employee & employer rights/obligations under the law. Nearly simultaneously, new ADA legislation came “on line” requiring employers to revise policies and practices to comply with and manage the workforces. In October, 2009 Congress passed new FMLA rights. Furthermore, several new laws have been proposed to expand the FMLA and to limit employer rights. This session will review all aspects of the FMLA, its rules and proposed legislation including:
-
How to manage new employer notice requirements.
-
Extended protections to new groups of military servicemembers.
-
New conditions covered when incurred by military sevicemembers.
-
How to require more specific/stringent notice from FMLA employees.
-
How to get practical benefits out of the new medical certification and recertification forms and processes.
-
The renewed importance of the definition of a serious health condition.
-
Implementing the new rules for Perfect Attendance and other Bonuses.
-
How to identify new issues regarding FMLA, light duty and the ADA.
Pending federal legislation would, in part:
-
Reduce or eliminate employee eligibility requirements.
-
Expand the scope of family members for whom leave can be taken.
-
Incorporate the pending Healthy Families Act legislation into the FMLA.
-
Substitute paid leave for some of the current FMLA leaves.
