2025 DMEC Virtual Compliance Conference: Top 8 FMLA Compliance Issues You Should Fix Right Now

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) can be a huge trap for unwary employers. Thorny issues include recognizing an employee’s notice of the need for FMLA leave, tricky medical certification issues, unplanned intermittent leave taken on a moment’s notice, and suspicions of FMLA misuse. No wonder employment counsel and human resources professionals everywhere regularly identify leaves of absence as the most difficult workplace benefit to administer and a constant compliance nightmare. But it need not be this complicated, and employers do not have to fight through these issues alone. Through case studies, polling, and perhaps even a little humor, attendees will learn about the most difficult FMLA compliance issues and practical solutions so employers and third-party administrators can minimize risk and maximize compliance with the law.
