Author: Jackson Lewis, LLP and ACC
Year: 2007
Description: 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. Within this complex environment, the risk for employers of mishandling employee absences by inadvertently violating statutory rights, breaching employee commitments, overlooking requests for accommodations, and bogging down legal and human resources staff is great. This InfoPAK explores the concept of employee leave management and examines the various sources of obligations that may govern various employee absences situations.
