Course Description

One FMLA mistake can trigger audits, lawsuits, and costly penalties. FMLA should be easy. But it's not. The Family and Medical Leave Act is one of the most commonly mismanaged federal laws in the workplace — because it's confusing, constantly evolving, and full of traps even seasoned HR pros and managers fall into.

FMLA eligibility rules keep changing, and remote work has thrown old assumptions out the window. Learn to avoid common HR and manager errors and handle FMLA correctly in 2026.
