REGISTER TODAY!Administering the Family Medical Leave Act
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is the first online course offered through the MSU's School of Labor and Industrial Relations. FMLA is one of the most challenging employment laws for employers to administer; especially now that it has been amended by the National Defense Act.
Recently, the FMLA was amended to permit a spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin to take up to 26 work weeks of leave to care for a member of the Armed Forces. This online course will provide you and the supervisors and managers in your organization with the information you need to effectively administer the family and medical leave act.
