Book description
Manage FMLA leave with this indispensable guide -- respect employees'
rights and protect your business' interests The Family Medical Leave Act
(FMLA) is a law with a noble purpose: To help employees balance the
demands of work and family. But the FMLA can be difficult to apply in
the real world, especially when other laws -- such as workers'
compensation statutes or state leave laws -- also come into play. Any
misstep can create needless frustration for both managers and employees.
Fortunately, The Essential Guide to Family & Medical Leave provides
all the information and forms you need to comply with the FMLA in plain
English. It answers vital questions, such as: . Who qualifies for leave?
. How much leave can employees take? . What are the employee's-and the
company's-notice obligations? . What are a company's obligations to an
employee on leave? . How can a company minimize disruptions? The
Essential Guide to Family & Medical Leave also includes checklists,
forms and worksheets, as well as audio dialogues that show how to
communicate effectively with employees who need to take leave. Let the
practical strategies in The Essential Guide to Family & Medical
Leave help you meet your legal obligations to employees, while also
meeting your company's needs. This edition has been revised to cover
extensive changes in the law, including available leave for family
members of those serving in the military and changes in FMLA
regulations. Plus, you'll get the latest information about family and
medical leave laws in your state. - Download forms for book on nolo. com
