Top 10 FMLA Compliance Issues You Should Be Thinking About Right Now
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) can be a huge trap for unwary employers. Thorny issues include: recognizing an employee’s notice of the need for FMLA leave, tricky medical certification issues, unplanned intermittent leave taken on a moment’s notice, suspicions of FMLA misuse, and more. No wonder employment counsel and HR professionals everywhere regularly identify leaves of absence as the most difficult workplace benefit to administer and a constant compliance nightmare. But it need not be this complicated, and you do not have to fight through these issues alone. We will engage attendees on the most difficult FMLA compliance issues while offering practical solutions so employers can minimize risk and maximize compliance with the law.

ACC Northeast is pleased to offer our members more ways to network, interact and get to know each other. We know that an important part of meeting our members' needs is meeting our members where they are located.

We have scheduled these new lunches in June, July and August and, as we are conscious of everyone's time, the lunches will take place fast-casual restaurants. The exact times and locations will be determined closer to the date. If you are interested in attending any of the following dates for a complimentary lunch, please click the links and you will be directed to the Board Member who is coordinating that particular lunch.
