MTSBA HR - Risk Management Webinar - FMLA

Wednesday, January 21, 2026 | Noon | via Zoom

No fee for HR-Risk Management Program Members | Non-members $50 per person

Please note: Program members do not need to register, as the Zoom link has been sent to those districts.


Who Should Attend? Public school district officials, HR personnel, administrators, and anyone involved in the management of employee leave policies.


Why Attend? The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a crucial legal framework that provides employees with the right to take job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons. This is especially pertinent for public school districts, where staff well-being directly impacts student success.


What You Will Learn:

  • FMLA Basics: An overview of the FMLA, including eligibility requirements and the specific rights and responsibilities of both employers and employees.
  • Impact on School Districts: How FMLA applies to public school districts in Montana and the implications for staffing and resource management.
  • Best Practices: Strategies to effectively manage FMLA requests and ensure compliance while supporting your staff.
