Managing Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) related absences is a difficult and demanding job. Aside from administrative headaches, mismanagement poses substantial risks of which your clients may not be fully aware. Employers who tackle it on their own can find themselves in a seemingly no-win situation, with outcomes ranging from serious legal and financial consequences to increased absenteeism because of employee abuse.

Today, outsourcing FMLA administration is increasingly viewed as the sensible solution to minimize employers’ liability and alleviate their FMLA burden.

Join us for this eye-opening one hour web seminar and walk away confident that you can help clients understand why they need specialized FMLA support, and how an absence management program can benefit their companies’ bottom line.

You'll learn:

  • The often unrecognized risks of self-administration and the key advantages of outsourcing
  • Real life case studies that demonstrate how FML Administrators can reduce employee absences and company expenses
  • Critical points to consider when evaluating and recommending an FML Administrator
