More employers are hiring outside administrators to manage FMLA programs, and these administrators often stretch or misconstrue the law to deny leaves or justify discipline. Attorney Robert Schwartz will answer your questions on rights and procedures, certification and recertification, return to work, and employer and employee notices. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of the Act. If possible, they should have a copy of the instructor’s 2017 guide: The FMLA Handbook, available at the Labor Notes literature table ($20).
