Department of Labor Claims Approximately 40-percent Manage FMLA Incorrectly - Learn how to Avoid the Pitfalls from WorkForce Software Webinar

Livonia, Mich. (Vocus) June 23, 2009

WorkForce Software, Inc., the leader in workforce management solutions for organizations with complex policies and compliance concerns, announces its 2009 June Learning Series webinar, ''Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Amendments and New Regulations.''

With its many regulations and periodic amendments, FMLA is an enormous challenge for both experienced and new HR professionals to navigate in order to avoid liability. The most common mistake of noncompliance is lack of knowledge and on January 16, 2009, new FMLA regulations and amendments went into effect increasing the compliance challenge.

The webinar features David B. Calzone, founder, director and shareholder of Vercruysse Murray & Calzone, P.C., and an expert in labor and employment law, who discusses the new FMLA regulations and amendments under FMLA, the new Military Caregiver Family Leave, and the Qualifying Exigency Family Leave in a 90-minute, in-depth discussion. Ideal for employers and HR professionals, Mr. Calzone's educational session provides information on how to navigate the new Military Caregiver and Qualifying Exigency leaves as well as other specific FMLA changes that took place in January including:

• Reduced schedule leaves
• Employer notice requirements
• Substitution of paid leave
• Medical certification
• Bonuses while on leave
• Fitness for duty certification; and
• Waiver of FMLA rights.

"For nearly 10 years, WorkForce Software has helped employers ensure compliance with the many state and federal labor regulations and laws, so we are excited to offer this valuable session to HR professionals and employers," said President and CEO Kevin Choksi of WorkForce Software.
