Fisher & Phillips LLP announced that it has developed a Smartphone and Tablet app to help employers calculate certain Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leaves of absence. The best news is that the app is free!
The leave calculator app allows human resource and benefit managers the ability to calculate basic leave requests and determine how much FMLA leave an employee has available. This new Beta version of the iPhone and Android app will be introduced during the SHRM Annual Conference in mid-June.
The Beta version will cover requests for leave for employees working a standard 40 hour work week and the next version of the app will cover more complicated situations such as employees working reduced work weeks.
The app is able to report the number of FMLA leave days still available for that employee, when the employee should return to work based on the new leave request, and how much leave the employee will have remaining after the current leave request is completed. The app even has a feature where you can then email the information directly to the employee who requested the leave.
This app is available for download at the Apple App Store or Google Play. Use “Fisher & Phillips” to search for the app for download or visit www.laborlawyers.com/FMLALeaveApp to get the app.
