SURVEY SAYS: OVER 50% OF HR PROFESSIONALS HAVE FACED "SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES" IN IMPLEMENTING THE FMLA

According to a recent SHRM survey:

• more than half (51%) of HR professionals have faced difficulties in implementing the medical leave provisions of the FMLA.
• 4 in 10 HR professionals have had to grant FMLA requests that they believed were not legitimate due to the Department of Labor's regulations or interpretations.
• 80% of respondents found it difficult to track and or administer intermittent FMLA Leave

It's no surprise. The FMLA is a complex law overflowing with potential legal traps set by tricky issues like eligibility, intermittent leave, pregnancy, record-keeping, and notification requirements. As a result, each year thousands of employers that think they are in compliance, wind up being sued in court, or paying costly fines.
