BENEFITS |
|
Employers are often the victims of FMLA abuse. The regulations
are employee friendly and many employees have figured out how to
play the FMLA game to avoid working and being held accountable
for their absences. These issues can wreak havoc on productivity
in the workplace.
This live audio conference will help you
understand what you can do to use the FMLA regulations to curb
FMLA abuse. This program will explain how to ensure that
employees meet all of their obligations under the FMLA. While
you cannot stop the use of FMLA leave, you can work to eliminate
the types of abuse that interfere with work.
