Description

Keep your company compliant when dealing with the effect of FMLA upon bonuses.On the one hand, the FMLA prohibits employers from interfering with an employee’s right to FMLA leave. On the other hand, should an employer have to pay a full bonus to an employee who was absent due to FMLA leave? Regulations and case law have developed and shifted since the FMLA’s passage in 1993. This topic reviews the tension between the FMLA and bonus programs, the changing law, and practical approaches to making bonus programs both effective incentives and FMLA compliant.

Description

Keep your company compliant when dealing with the effect of FMLA upon bonuses.Most managers, employees, and HR professionals are confident that FMLA leave can’t be used against them, even if they know little else about the FMLA. Generally speaking, that’s right. But many further assume that general principle means FMLA leave can’t be used to disqualify employees from receiving bonuses or other financial incentives. Sometimes that’s right, but many times it’s not. The FMLA rules for distinguishing between permissible and impermissible bonus decisions have changed over the years, but the old rules continue to crop up, and employees continue to advance new arguments. This topic explores and explains compliant bonus qualification standards, helps identify potential dispute scenarios, and prepares you to explain and defend your bonus programs in individual employment situations.
