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 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.
