A centralized approach to the university's Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) practices mitigates risk and minimizes employee touchpoints and responsibility duplication. Our newly optimized FMLA processes will enable us to improve record keeping and tracking, simplify return-to-work coordination, provide enhanced customer service, and increase employee privacy. This revitalized process will create better communication protocols for managers and supervisors and ease our ability to remain compliant with federal regulations while expediting our service to employees using FMLA leave.
