HELP FOR YOUR FMLA COMPLIANCE AND IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES

AHI's COMPLETE FMLA COMPLIANCE KIT

The final Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) regulations that became effective in January 2009 were supposed to clear up many of the confusing issues surrounding the FMLA.  But, according to many HR executives, the new regulations didn't help much.
