DETAILS

Employers continue to struggle with knowing how best to satisfy their legal obligations towards employees with medical conditions. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), state leave laws, workers compensation…. What applies when, and how can you best follow the rules?
Please join Alison Davis, Kevin Kraham and Barbara Cusumano of Littler Mendelson as they examine precisely what the FMLA and ADA require, and how to satisfy those requirements. They will discuss approaches towards tracking leave, providing accommodations and participating in the required interactive process, including how to evaluate an employee’s requested accommodation and how to document the interactive process. Lastly, making a complicated issue even more complicated, the law continues to change, so they will review the current state of the law regarding leave as an accommodation, pregnancy under the ADA, light duty issues, and how the FMLA and the ADA interact.
