Nothing can trip HR professionals up as much as the Bermuda triangle of leave laws including the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act and Worker's Compensation. Not only are these laws complicated and legalistic but they are difficult to apply and even more confusing when worker's compensation is involved. What is a "Serious Health Condition" under the ADA? Who is a "qualified individual with a disability"? When is a worker entitled to worker's compensation and how does it work when an employee is out on FMLA? What is a reasonable accommodation? How does light duty fit into all of this? The answers to these and many more questions will be provided by legal expert, Melissa Fleischer, Esq. in this engaging and informative live webinar.
She will provide information on all of this and more, including:
- How to count the 12 month period for FMLA purposes
- Whether an employer has to provide additional leave even after FMLA as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA
- What state laws require with regard to worker's comp insurance
- Whether worker's comp entitles the employee to a leave of absence or just compensation for the injury
- What is a "disability" within the meaning of the ADA
- Whether a "serious health condition" would be involved when an employee has a work-related injury
- How to navigate through this Bermuda triangle of leave laws
- And much more
