Leave Management Monday: 3 FMLA Compliance Tips Every HR Team Should Know

  • 1 minute read

Managing FMLA requests can get complicated, but the right knowledge and tools make all the difference. Here are 3 quick FMLA compliance tips to help HR teams stay compliant and reduce administrative headaches:

  • Confirm Eligibility Early – Before approving any FMLA leave, verify that the employee meets all requirements: 12 months of service, 1,250 hours worked, and employment at a location with 50+ employees in a 75-mile radius.
  • Centralize Documentation – Keep all FMLA-related forms, medical certifications, and communications in one secure, centralized platform. This makes it easier to track deadlines, ensure consistency, and respond to audits.
  • Track Intermittent Leave Accurately – FMLA intermittent leave can be tricky, automated tracking helps ensure employees don’t exceed their entitlement and managers stay informed.
