Even simple leave requests can be complex, and the risk of long, costly litigation adds pressure for leave administrators. Many employees asking for leave are protected by the FMLA, the ADA, state medical leave laws and, during the pandemic, COVID-19 emergency laws as well.
This 60-minute webinar on managing employee leave under FMLA and ADA covers the basics of FMLA, ADA and workers' compensation, where they overlap and where they differ, and what it means for an employee to be unable to work or telework.
It also looks at COVID-related ADA issues, obligations after the FFCRA, screening for COVID and vaccines, with best practices for managing a workforce while staying compliant.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Leave rules are a patchwork. While a national paid family and sick leave law is debated, states, cities and individual employers have adopted their own measures, making compliance harder to track. Getting leave decisions wrong can lead to costly claims.
The session suits HR directors and practitioners, leave and benefits administrators, CEOs, CFOs, controllers, business owners, senior managers, payroll and compensation officers and in-house counsel.
