The Advanced FMLA Course is an intensive, two-day in-person program taking an in-depth look at Family Medical Leave Act issues of particular concern to local government and state agency employers, as well as to community college and UNC system employers. Topics covered include:

the meaning of “serious health condition”
certifications and second opinions,
how to manage intermittent leave and reduced leave schedules
fit-for-duty tests, employer 100%-healed policies and light duty
employer absence and absence-reporting policies,
consequences of failing to provide notice of FMLA leave
how to investigate and resolve FMLA fraud and abuse.

This class is not an introduction to the FMLA. You must have taken Introduction to Public Employment Law (registration will be cross-checked against Introduction to Public Employment Law records).

Registration is limited 65 participants.

Course fee: $365

Instructors: Diane Juffras and Bob Joyce
