While most employees do not abuse the FMLA, those who do can cause scheduling challenges, lost productivity, and damage to employee morale.
Earn your Family Medical Leave Specialist Certification from Michigan State University, one of the most recognized programs in Human Resources advanced education. You will gain a solid understanding of the FMLA, learn to manage FMLA absences, promote attendance, and ensure compliance.
The FMLA can be confusing. Obtain the most up-to-date information, get your questions answered, and develop strategies for continued improvement.
This workshop will include a dedicated website with additional, valuable resources.
Certification is achieved by participating in the class and passing the online examination.
