About this book

What employers must know about FMLA leave for both on-site and remote workers

The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) helps workers balance the demands of work, family, and personal care. But for employers, knowing how to apply this law fairly and legally can be difficult—especially when it comes to tracking intermittent leave, completing the proper paperwork, and determining eligibility for different types of leave. What's more, related and sometimes overlapping workers' compensation statutes and state leave laws add complexity, such that any misstep can create frustration for both managers and employees.

This book provides answers—in plain English—to every employer's tough questions about the FMLA. It provides detailed information, sample forms, and checklists and other tools to help company managers and human resources personnel figure out:

• who is eligible for leave

• what types of leave are covered

• how much leave individual employees may take, and

• how to comply with notice and other paperwork requirements.

This indispensable guide, from experienced employment law attorneys, has already helped thousands of companies learn how to respect employees' rights while simultaneously protecting their business interests.

The 7th edition includes changes to state family and medical leave laws and new material on handling leave requests by remote workers.
