FMLA/CFRA/PDL Compliance - Unravel the mysteries of what these acronyms really mean – it’s ALL ABOUT LEAVES!
THIS TRAINING IS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE!
Integration has always been a challenge — and the new FMLA leave categories add a new dimension. The new DOL rules complicate the relationship further. We unravel those pieces and help you develop a system to cope with the overlaps and the differences. It is no secret that these laws were not written for simplicity or ease of administration. In fact, there are numerous opportunities to fumble… whether you miss an important notification requirement, stop benefits short of legal requirements or fail to offer the amount of leave allowed.

- Visually walk through statute interaction
- Address the aspects that you find most frustrating`

The Prevention of Harassment & Discrimination
California law (AB 1825) required employers with 50 or more employees to provide 2 hours of sexual harassment training in 2005 and every two years thereafter to all supervisors/managers/leads. Additionally, newly hired/promoted supervisors/managers/leads must receive the training within 6 months of hire/promotion. While the regulations only require “sexual harassment” training, TPO’s program goes well beyond to address all forms of harassment and discrimination (age, race, religion, disability, etc.) that today’s managers must be prepared to prevent and address. TPO has trained over 5,000 managers, supervisors and employees on the prevention of harassment and discrimination.
