Curbing FMLA ...
(Continued from page 7)
However, such possibilities shouldn’t deter you from taking action against employees who
abuse FMLA leave and your internal policies.
You should consult with legal counsel regarding your FMLA and other applicable leave
policies before acting on a suspected FMLA leave abuser. Above all else, document every
interaction with FMLA leave requestees and retain those records indefinitely.
Summary
Curbing FMLA leave abuse may seem like an uphill battle, but having a clear policy can set
you on the right path before any leave is taken. Once you have a policy, ensure managers and
employees understand their rights and what is expected of them. Doing so will give you and
your employees one less thing to worry about during their leave.
For more information or if you have questions, please contact the insurance or HR
professionals at Cool Insuring Agency.
