Employee Benefits and Leave Regulatory Compliance Training - Live Webinars, Recordings & CDs

As many have noted, the interaction of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and workers' compensation laws is known by many employers to be the Bermuda Triangle of employment law. To help fill in the gaps, this training session will analyze the statutes, regulations, and guidance to answer the most frequently asked questions about these laws.

When administering the ADA and FMLA it is important to consider the complexity of workers’ compensation in the mix. In this, the third training program in the series, the webinar instructor will discuss the EEOC’s general guidance regarding the term “disability” as it relates to an occupational injury.

The ADA and FMLA often interact and if organizational managers aren’t sure how to navigate these complex regulations, including the gray areas, your company may be at risk. In this second part training of the ADA and FMLA compliance series, we will review the fundamental aspects of The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) as it relates to employment, including best practices for accommodating employees with disabilities.

Most employers assume that 12 weeks’ leave for employees ensures compliance with the FMLA, and that takes care of their obligation towards the employee as well. However, if the employee also is disabled, the employer’s duty under the ADA may be just beginning. The key to untangling ADA and FMLA is to understand the obligations under each statute. Therefore, it is crucial for employers to have a sound knowledge of the laws to apply them correctly and avoid litigation. This first training program of a four part series discuss the fundamental provisions of the FMLA.

Undue hardship can mean different things to different employers. If you are in healthcare, pharma, banking and finance, to name a few examples, accommodations of leave requests that may be feasible for many other employers, might, for you, be an undue hardship.
