Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) course is developed to inform employers and HR professionals about the rights of employees, their eligibility, and the responsibilities of employers about job-protected leave. It addresses the most important issues of qualifying reasons for leave, notice provision, reinstatement, and anti-retaliation policies. The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that almost 13 percent of all U.S. workers take FMLA leave in a year. This training keeps businesses within the confines of federal law as well as helping employees who are in medical or family-related circumstances.
