GIOA Intro to FMLA and other Leaves of Absence Management Part One_February 11, 2026

Click here to watch: GIOA Intro to FMLA & other Leaves of Absence Management Part Three Policy Integration

Leave policies can be complex—but they don’t have to be confusing. Join us for the third session in our webinar series, "Do You Know if You Currently Have the Right Policies?" While previous sessions covered the foundational principles of FMLA, ADA, PWFA, and USERRA, this session focuses on putting that knowledge into action. You will learn what to communicate to team members regarding going out on leave, returning from leave, and maintaining benefits. We will specifically focus on:

• Required Policies: What they should contain.
• Alternative Options: Policies for non-FMLA medical leave or personal leave when a team member does not qualify for required leaves.
• Benefits Management: Paying for benefits while on leave and handling the return to work.

Whether you have attended the full series or are joining us for the first time, you’ll walk away with practical, actionable insights to help you implement leave policies with confidence.
