In the state of California, employers often struggle with abuse and fraud of protected leaves of absence as those granted by the Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and the Pregnancy Disability Leave Act (PDL). Employers feel uncertain how they can avoid complex leave of absence 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.
Why Should You Attend:
Employers need to be savvy about what they can and cannot do with respect to FMLA, CFRA, and PDL 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. Additionally, this webinar will help employers confidently move forward with necessary employment actions.
