    Although the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) was signed into law almost 28 years ago, it continues to pose challenges for professional in Human Resources because of the endless variety of circumstances that arise with employees.

    More recently, compliance with the FMLA has become even more complex due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Congress’s passage of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“FFCRA”) which created an expansion of FMLA rights available to employees dealing with the closure of schools or care facilities due to COVID 19.

    In this presentation, participants will learn their FMLA obligations under the FFCRA, the basics of the FMLA as far as eligibility, what constitutes a serious health condition, what constitutes sufficient notice, and how the FMLA has been impacted by recent Supreme Court decisions. The presentation will include examples of workplace scenarios that can arise. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask the presenter questions about the FMLA.
