FMLA & Leave of Absences: Understanding FMLA Eligibility and Employer Obligations

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is the federal law originally enacted in 1993 and amended in 2008 (and again in 2009). The overall purpose of the FMLA is to mandate that certain large employers provide a balance between the demands of the workplace and the needs of families by providing job-protected, unpaid leave to eligible employees.

During this session you will learn:

FLMA Basics:

• What is the Family Medical Leave Act?
• Who is or is not impacted

• Military provisions added in 2009
• High level overview of the impact to an employer;
• Implications in the work place
