We're taking a short holiday break, so no new episode today -- we'll be back to new programming in a few weeks.

In the meantime, we're rerunning a 2020 episode on a topic we often get questions and suggestions about: FMLA!

In this episode, JoDee and Susan discuss the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) with Laura North from Purple Ink.

Topics include:

  • What FMLA is and why the US Congress passed the Act
  • How to stay on top of FMLA requests
  • What type of training managers need to assist with the process
  • How to approach sensitive information with employees who are sometimes not willing to share the details
  • How to handle cases that are approaching leave expiration

Full show notes and links are available here. A transcript of the episode can be found here.
