It’s Not Called the Friday and Monday Leave Act! Effective Ways to Protect Your Organization Against Misuse of FMLA and ADA Leave

The reasons for (suspicious use of) FMLA leave get more creative each year. Like the guy who said he was helping his wife at home with IVF treatments…but the employer knew his wife wasn't at home. We'll tell you about him and how they knew he was fibbing—you're not going to believe it. Or the truck driver who injured himself by crashing his company car…only was there no evidence of a crash. We'll tell you about him, too.

And most importantly, we'll provide every bit of reassurance that you shouldn't feel helpless when dealing with suspected FMLA and ADA fraud!

In this complimentary webinar, Littler shareholder Jeff Nowak and ComPsych's Matt Morris will provide practical suggestions on how employers can address suspected FMLA and ADA leave misuse in your workplace, focusing on the steps you can take to root out and minimize fraudulent use of these job-protected leaves.

Through the use of case studies (and always a bit of humor), you will learn how to:

• Identify and understand the most common forms of FMLA fraud
• Effectively use certification and recertification to respond to a pattern of misuse or suspected FMLA or ADA misuse
• Manage intermittent FMLA leave—a main culprit of FMLA misuse
• Conduct effective investigations into potential misuse of FMLA and ADA leave
• Implement must-have personnel policies to prevent FMLA fraud
• Learn how to use the "honest belief" tool to protect your organization against misuse of FMLA and ADA leave
• Navigate whether you can assess attendance points or issue discipline for an absence protected by the ADA

And, of course, we'll sing. We'll definitely sing.
