Family and Medical Leave Act Teleconference on Tuesday, July 26.

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is one of many federal laws that employers are struggling to understand and apply. The FMLA, with its broad definition of medical conditions and generous leave provisions, can be difficult to administer and burdensome to follow. In addition, it has been increasingly abused by employees. Employers need to know what steps they must take to comply with the law, as well as what preventative steps they can take to reduce employee abuse of the leave provisions.
