Would it be beneficial to get a FMLA certification? I saw Shrm offers one online, has anyone taken that and what are your thoughts?
I have a Bachelors degree in HR management and at almost 2 years of experience but have never handled FMLA.

I wouldn’t see it as beneficial unless you’re interested in specialized roles that focus specifically on benefits/ leave administration. FMLA has pretty standard guidelines across the board. I’d suggest reading up in the topic first. Perhaps running your questions by a HR colleague or mentor. If you find that you’re still having trouble grasping it, then pursue the formal learning via the certification.

It's always beneficial to expand your knowledge base. If you've got the time and you're interested in learning more about that area of the business to become more marketable, then go for it!

Everything I’ve ever learned in my years of 11 and 7 in benefits including leave, I learned from in the job training. I am not degreed or certified. However I am finishing school next year just as a personal goal and everything I’m learning in school (HR degree) doesn’t come close to what I have learned working

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam.

But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

Hi Editors!
What did your transition from AE to editor look like?

5 months ago I joined an advertising post house as a full-time AE. Through the support of a lead editor at the company I found my way into making cuts for the company’s most prestigious client. At this point, I’ve been the sole editor of one global campaign and a co-editor of another, in addition to cutting many social media videos. It’s only 5 months but I can’t help feel that my title doesn’t reflect the work I actually do.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers.
