Employee leave is one of the hottest issues

including: preventing abuse, managing
absenteeism, records retention and

terminating employees on leave.
As an HR professional, you know that when it comes to leave, you’re dealing with more
than just FMLA. Oftentimes, you’ve got to worry about crossover with ADA and workers’

leave legally AND effectively. If you’re tired of searching for the answers on your own,
you don’t want to miss this workshop. It’s chock-full of answers to your toughest leave
situations.
Get legally sound solutions for every leave situation you face.

and information for handling every leave situation you face. Packed with dozens of howtos, whys, and what-fors, you owe it to your organization, your employees, and your own
peace of mind to enroll in this workshop today.

terminating employees on leave or you’ve questioned your methods in the past, this
session is for you. You’ll learn what the law says you can and can’t do … tips on what to
