When employees are on leave, the rest of the team often feels the strain, and employers may suspect that some leave is not genuine or not even covered. This 120-minute leave abuse webinar shows how to reduce your exposure to abuse of family and medical leave under the FMLA, ADA and workers' comp.
You'll compare a serious health condition under the FMLA with a qualified individual with a disability under the ADA/ADAAA, use medical inquiries to determine coverage, and review notice and reinstatement requirements under both laws.
The session also covers intermittent leave requests, terminating an employee who has used up FMLA leave without violating the ADA, documentation and meeting guidelines, case law and best practices.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
