The recent DOL revisions to the Family and Medical Leave Act have opened the door for HR to get information from a healthcare provider when an employee requests leave. Learn how to use the new FMLA regs to better monitor intermittent leave and stop leave abuse by participating in the all-new audio conference, The New FMLA Intermittent Leave Regs: Curb Abuse, Confirm Medical Certification, and More.

In just 90 minutes, experienced employment law DC insiders will answer your toughest questions, including:

* How have the new regs changed the definition of intermittent leave?
* What are the rules surrounding unforeseeable leave?
* How have employee notification requirements changed?
* What policies should you have in place to curb intermittent leave abuse?
* How have the new regs made it easier to monitor, control, and limit FMLA abuse? Your speakers will cover minimum leave periods, "usual and customary" notice requirements, systematic use of medical certification, and recertification options.
* How have the new regulations opened the door for HR to get information directly from the health care provider?
* Did you know you can now get a description of the medical facts about an employee? These could include diagnosis, medications, and a regimen of continued treatment. Also, if intermittent leave is requested, employers can learn why it’s needed, how often it’s needed, and the expected duration.
* What should you do when suspicions are raised?
* How should you address coworker complaints about an employee’s use of intermittent leave?
* How is the 12-week FMLA entitlement calculated when an employee takes leave intermittently?
