Managing employee leaves of absence requires employers to navigate a complex and ever-changing maze of employment laws – including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) at the federal level, and additional laws at the state level. With the recent increase in government enforcement action and employee discrimination and retaliation claims, the complexity of managing leaves and the associated legal risks continue to grow. In this program, we will examine important recent developments under the ADA and FMLA and local state leave laws, and will provide practical guidelines for effectively managing some of the most common and frustrating leave challenges, including:
- Determining leave eligibility
- Managing intermittent and reduced-schedule leaves
- Providing benefits during leave
- Reinstating employees after leave
- Terminating employees during or after leave
- Managing military leaves
We will hear the unique perspective and practical guidance from our speakers on FMLA and ADA leave administration.
