FMLA: Strategies for New Compliance Challenges

Categories: TAHRA Learning Lab

Presented by Charles Plumb
McAfee & Taft

FMLA usage is on the rise and more employees are enforcing their rights through the courts.

When an employee misses work, it is the employer's responsibility to determine whether FMLA applies. You must know the rules!

Understanding all of the intricacies and challenges of the Family Medical Leave Act can be a daunting task. Whether you are new to employee benefits or are an experienced Human Resources professional, this lab will provide all of the latest information on FMLA compliance.

Charlie Plumb will cover the most recent FMLA developments and important legal updates. He will share the most effective approaches, when it comes to balancing an employer's legal obligations with the real world need to administer, monitor and police FMLA usage by the workforce.

Charlie Plumb represents management in all phases of employment law and labor relations. Much of his practice is dedicated to counseling employers on compliance with a broad range of state and federal employment laws and regulations and educating management on best practices for avoiding disputes arising from the employer/employee relationship. He also has extensive litigation experience before federal and state courts, regulatory and administrative agencies, and in arbitration matters involving claims of discrimination, wrongful discharge, retaliatory discharge, breach of contract, and constitutional law violations.

As part of his labor practice, Charlie represents unionized employers in collective bargaining negotiations with labor unions, arbitrates grievances, and defends management against a variety of claims before the National Labor Relations Board and Department of Justice and in state and federal courts. He also represents employers who seek to maintain a non-unionized workforce by counseling management on union avoidance strategies and by providing training and advice to management and supervisors. His clients include numerous municipalities throughout Oklahoma and companies engaged in the manufacturing and distribution, construction, energy, public utility, technology and business services industries.
