Tip Tuesday: Managing Intermittent FMLA: A Guide to Staying Safe

Managing intermittent FMLA leave is no easy task for supervisors and employers. Here are some guidelines for handling it properly and keeping your company safe.

When leave begins

A smart thing to do: Have a policy in place stating that an employee is required to give written notice of leave prior to missing work — unless, of course, it’s an emergency or special circumstances exist.
