Family And Medical Leave Handbook

Ensuring that your organization is in compliance with the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) and its accompanying regulations does not have to be a complicated and time-consuming process. Thompson's one-volume Family and Medical Leave Handbook is an easy-to-use guide to the law featuring an extensive explanation of the complicated FMLA requirements, including eligibility, reporting, and employee leave and benefits rules.

This comprehensive information service will help control costs and minimize the new law's potential disruption of your organization's operations.

The manual also provides clear explanations of the relationship between the FMLA and state and other federal laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, COBRA and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).

Organized into easy-to-use tabbed sections, the Handbook offers quick access to every facet of the FMLA compliance process. Sample forms and documents are included to help you draft a family and medical leave policy, an application for family or medical leave, medical certification statements and a notice of employee intention to return from leave.

Your subscription includes monthly updates to the loose-leaf guide plus monthly news bulletins to keep you on top of new regulations and interpretations from federal agencies, court cases and state actions.
