How to Comply With new FMLA Rules Affecting Military Family Members

Description

Recent amendments to the FMLA that provide new entitlements for employees with family members in the military will significantly impact how employers administer FMLA. The changes will permit these employees to take FMLA leave for “exigencies” that occur when a family member is called to active duty. In addition, the changes entitle employees to take up to 26 weeks of protected leave in a single 12 month period for a recovering service member who became ill or injured in active duty.
 
In this 90-minute interactive audio conference attendees will learn how the new changes will affect how employers administer FMLA, what employers can do to minimize mistakes, and when the changes will have to be enacted.
 
Major learning points or questions that will be answered in this audio conference:
·          When is an employee entitled to leave under these new amendments?
·          What family members are covered?
·          What constitutes “active duty?”
·          How do these new entitlements interplay with other existing FMLA entitlements?
How can employers get into compliance with these new requirements
