About this listen

Colleen Bodziony, Director of Operations and Member Services, sits down with Michael Coury, HR Consultant at The Trust, to unpack the complexities of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and what public employers need to know to stay compliant. Together, they break down how FMLA applies to municipalities, school districts, and special purpose districts, clarify eligibility requirements, and address common misconceptions and challenges faced by HR teams. With a focus on real-world scenarios Trust Members regularly face, Colleen and Michael explore qualifying leave scenarios, special considerations for schools and public safety departments, documentation and notice requirements, and how FMLA can overlap with ADA and workers’ compensation. Listeners will leave with practical guidance and best practices to help manage FMLA more confidently, remain complaint, and support employees during critical life events.
