The administration of the FMLA has proven to be a great frustration to corporate legal counsel and human resource professionals. There are many reasons innate to the FMLA for why this is so, but more fundamentally, most in-house counsel view leave management as a puzzle.

This InfoPAK explores the concept of employee leave management and examines the sources of obligations that may govern various employee absences situations.
