2024 Tools & Tactics Webinar: Leave Calculations – The Algebra You Didn’t Know You’d Need

Tuesday, Nov. 5
9:00 am PT | 12:00 pm ET

Navigating the complexities of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and leave of absence calculations can often feel like unraveling a challenging math problem. To help simplify this process, join us for an in-depth and informative webinar designed specifically for HR professionals. We’ll delve into the top 10 most common pitfalls encountered when calculating time away from work under the FMLA and other leave laws.

This comprehensive session will cover essential topics such as managing the impact of holidays on leave calculations, understanding how overtime affects leave balances, and addressing the nuances of variable work schedules and plant shutdowns. We’ll explore each of these areas plus more, providing practical examples and strategies to resolve these common challenges. By the end of the webinar, you’ll not only master these complex calculations but also gain the confidence to tackle other leave-related math challenges that come your way.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand how to accurately calculate FMLA and other leave entitlements to help identify and resolve common calculation errors.
  • Learn the essential formulas and methods for handling situations when multiple leave laws are at play, handling intermittent leave in increments, and plant shutdown scenarios.
  • Gain best practices and practical insights into managing complex leave calculations, ensuring compliance and minimizing errors.
