Originally presented on July 24, 2019
Employers are required to provide leave to employees and often reinstate them to the same job category when they return. The FMLA, ADA and other federal statues establish a variety of eligibility standards and circumstances in which employers must offer leave, or become liable for failing to do so. The complexity of these statutes exposes clients to substantial risk and liability if leave policy is not properly drafted and administered. This program will provide you with a practical guide to the sources of federal employee leave law, covered employees and qualifying circumstances, how leave can and should be incorporated into employer policies and handbooks to avoid liability.
