Employers often struggle with abuse and fraud of protected leaves such as those granted by the Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and the Pregnancy Disability Leave Act (PDL). They feel uncertain how they can avoid complex leave issues while protecting their own financial and business needs. The overlap between these pieces of legislation is often confusing and seemingly complicated. All three pieces of legislation provide ways in which an employer can identify an employee’s need for leave while vigilantly remaining alert to potential leave abuse.
Course Objectives:
Employers need to be savvy about what they can and cannot do with respect to these leaves while, at the same time, remaining compliant. Attendance at this webinar will help clear up the confusion and will assist participants in gaining the confidence they need to administer these leaves while remaining vigilant to incidents of abuse and fraud.
