LIVE VIRTUAL PRESENTATION – MARCH 8, 2022
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that provides certain employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per designated 12-month period. FMLA applies to all public agencies, including institutions of higher education.
Recently, FMLA for Kent State has gone through a LEAN process improvement. As a result, the HR Employee Benefits Office has:
- Developed this educational webinar to increase understanding regarding:
- How to apply for FMLA
- What conditions or circumstances may be eligible for FMLA
- How does FMLA interact with other leaves (e.g., sick, vacation, workers’ comp, etc.)
- Employee responsibilities while using FMLA
- Supervisor roles and responsibilities related to FMLA
- How to report and approve time while on FMLA
- Automated the application process for employees applying for FMLA
- Developed and integrated email updates to keep employees, supervisors and stakeholders informed throughout the leave process
All supervisors and employees are encouraged to register for this virtual FMLA training on March 8, 2022, from 10 – 11:30 a.m. This webinar will include Q & A at the end of the presentation and will also count as 1.5 hours toward your annual Beyond Compliance training.
