Leave 101 – Managing and Accommodating

Leave laws are changing constantly in today’s workplace. We can no longer say “one-size-fits-all” and assume all policies apply to all people.

Please join us on March 7th at 10 a.m. as we are joined by a familiar face, David Flotten, for the first of a two-part series on leave. The first of these two webinars will be focused on the basics while also being open to answering your specific questions throughout!

In this session, we will discuss:

• FMLA Covered and Eligible employees
• Reasons for, Duration and Returning from leave
• Compensation and Benefits during leave

We hope to see you there!
