Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do you think counting to 50 is simple? When it comes to FMLA compliance, that number can determine whether your business is protected or exposed to serious legal risk.
In this episode, you will learn how to correctly count employees under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), including the often-misunderstood “50 employees within 75 miles” rule. You’ll gain clarity on how to define a worksite, how remote and traveling employees are counted, and why part-time and seasonal workers matter more than you think.
You also discover the most common mistakes business owners make when calculating FMLA eligibility, and the real consequences of getting it wrong, including lawsuits, back pay, and even double damages.
If you are growing your team or unsure whether FMLA applies to your business, this episode gives you a clear, practical framework to assess your risk and stay compliant.
Listen now to protect your business and make informed decisions before a costly mistake happens.
