Results
of a recent CCH (Commerce Clearing House) poll showed that
over two-thirds of the respondents regarded the tracking
of Family Medical Leave to be “Difficult”. Those that perceived
compliance to be “Not Difficult” had tracking
software and procedures in place. Make no mistake, FMLA
is a major headache and those who are charged with tracking
it need help.
OPEN4’s
FMLA module is designed to help your organization comply with
federal and state mandates. It automatically displays verification
of hours worked for eligibility and retains individual records
for each occurrence of time taken (both incremental and long-term).
The system tracks certifications - when they’re due
for return and when they expire – based on your company
policy.
Add your company-specific
policy documents (in Word® format) to the standard government
issue documents, and a comprehensive set of forms may be printed
for an employee requesting leave - simply check the appropriate
boxes and click “print”.
All four options
for determining the FMLA “leave year” are supported,
including the difficult “rolling 12-month” periods.
The “rolling” period techniques cannot be properly
maintained without a detailed history of every single occurrence
of leave taken, even down to portions of hours – and
our FMLA module accommodates that.
Our standard
reports include FMLA absence history for a selected employee,
or for all employees. And reports are provided for certifications
due for return and those that are expiring. Calendars display
FMLA time taken for a month or for a full year. And those
calendars may optionally include any vacation and absence
time taken as well – simply check a box.
