The presentation will inform the attendees about the basics of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and traps for the unwary employer who should be aware of and potentials for abuse.

Key Learning Objectives:
- Identify key provisions of the FMLA
- Understand employers’ responsibilities
- Be prepared for abuse of leave and how to identify it
- Update on the PWFA and real time changes under the EEOC’s newly formed quorum
