5 guidelines on managing intermittent leave and curbing leave abuse under the new fmla regulations
One of the biggest employer complaints about the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) has long concerned the productivity problems caused by employees’ use—and abuse—of intermittent leave, according to a U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) report.
The problem: Employees with chronic health problems often take FMLA leave in short increments of an hour or less. That can cause a productivity, scheduling and cost predicament, especially in time-sensitive industries like health care, public safety and transportation.
In light of the revised FMLA regulations, including the recent legislation passed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, make sure your organization’s policies and employee handbook are up to date, and revisit how you track FMLA intermittent leave.
