Also Available as: eLearning - Signature It's the Law™: The Legal Side of Management (eLearning Advantage)Managers have a lot on their plate these days. They are expected to hire the right people for the job, coach and motivate their employees, anticipate problems before they occur, and get their own workloads completed on time and within budget. If this seems like a lot to focus on, it’s not all. We also need them to keep themselves and the organization out of court. Managers and supervisors make decisions every day that impact the lives of the people throughout the organization. They have an obligation to make sure those decisions don’t result in a lawsuit. This is a lot of responsibility for managers. It’s the Law™ can help them put the legalities of management into perspective and keep the organization out of the courtroom. | |

Additional Information
Employees are “eligible” for FMLA leave if they work at a worksite that has 50 or more employees within a 75-mile radius of it, they have worked for the company for at least 1 year, and they have worked at least 1,250 hours in the preceding 12-month period. Employees who work remotely, or who regularly change worksites, use the worksite they report to for this last consideration.
If an employee meets all three of these “eligibility” criteria, then they may request FMLA time off.
