Who Should Attend The FMLA, ADA, And PWFA Certificate Program

FMLA and ADA have been around for more than 30 years, yet with the requirements for Reasonable Accommodations, medical certifications, Fitness-for-Duty testing, Return-to-Work options, FMLA job and benefits restoration, Intermittent Leave rules, and more, many HR professionals cite compliance with these laws as the toughest part of their job.

And things only get worse when the rules for FMLA, ADA, And PWFA interlap. For instance: Which one takes precedence? Can I request a second medical certification? Can we run leave times concurrently? Do I have to automatically comply with leave requests? How to I investigate potential FMLA fraud or abuse?

Our FMLA, ADA, And PWFA Certificate Program is an Instructor-led training course that covers a wide range issues and provides not just the rules, but Best Practices and Administrative Tips for effectively managing your organization’s compliance requirements, including suggestions for tracking Intermittent Leave, various paid and unpaid leave options, and documentation strategies that protect your organization. It is perfect for any HR professional directly or indirectly responsible for compliance. This includes HR teammates, managers and supervisors, VPs and Directors, as well as business owners.

And as you can tell from our near-perfect 5 out of 5 review score and the testimonials about this course, everyone loves the course! As our byline states: Is the time to learn how to do an internal investigation when you are suddenly faced with having to do one – and not know what to do? Get yourself trained today!
