Webinar Overview:

The unpredictability of intermittent leave is challenging and frustrating enough to manage without someone taking advantage of the system or abusing leave rights. Where do we draw the line between use and abuse, and what can we do about it? Join us as we explore the fuzzy line between use and abuse, and discuss the tools and strategies employers can use to curb family leave abuse.

During this webinar, you will learn:

  • What you need to know about managing employees who are taking time off for pregnancy, illness, FMLA/OFLA leave, disability, and workers compensation leave
  • The basics of the various leave laws
  • How to track leave correctly
  • How all the leave laws work together
  • Factual scenarios tailored to address common issues and concerns you may have
  • Tips for maintaining productivity, employee morale, and your sanity
  • What you can say and not say, and how you can address the morale aftermath
