Thanks to those who attended my webinar last week with Ellen McCann on “Managing Red Flags and Staying Ahead of the Trends.”

In a mere hour, Ellen and I covered a number of hot FMLA topics and trends, such as:

• Conducting an effective investigation after you obtain photos or information through social media suggesting that your employee is abusing FMLA leave
• The latest on caring for a family member where travel (with the family member) is involved
• How Employers should send FMLA notices in light of recent cases indicating that U.S Mail and email might not be good enough
• How Employers should handle situations where an employee needs leave but doesn’t want the absence designated as FMLA leave

I’m out of breath just thinking about all the real estate we covered!  And in a moment of pure insanity, I even sang an FMLA Thanksgiving song about a turkey named Albuquerque (which of course can be skipped over in the recording).

Thanks again to those who attended the webinar. I look forward to your feedback on the issues we discussed.
