2024 Virtual DMEC FMLA/ADA Employer Compliance Conference: We Goofed; Now What? An FMLA Tale

Leave administration is complex and getting more complicated by the day. What happens if an employer fails to satisfy their obligations related to a Family and Medical Leave Law (FMLA) request or doesn't recognize an employee's need for FMLA leave? What options do they have? In this session, we will cover a variety of scenarios -- such as retroactive designations, sending notices after the fact, whether or not employees have suffered harm, and more -- and ask attendees to vote on how the employer should proceed. We'll also walk through the applicable compliance requirements and offer tips on how you could proceed if you ever found yourself in similar circumstances.

• Attendees will be able to identify when they have potentially failed to meet an employer obligation under FMLA.
• Attendees will be able to identify the compliance requirements applicable to a failure to satisfy an employer obligation under FMLA.
• Attendees will be able to identify how to proceed when they determine that they have failed to meet an employer obligation under FMLA.
