As we navigate 2026 and beyond, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) remains a cornerstone of federal labor law, yet its administration has never been more complex. With the rise of hybrid work models, expanding state-level paid leave programs and increased Department of Labor (DOL) oversight, even experienced HR teams are facing new hurdles.

This webinar provides a comprehensive deep dive into FMLA requirements, focusing on the latest regulatory shifts and practical strategies for managing leave effectively. We explore the critical intersection between federal FMLA, state Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) programs and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to ensure your organization stays fully protected.
