HR teams must uphold the ADAAA, FMLA and workers' compensation laws at the same time, and the interplay between them is rarely simple. When these laws are not followed, the organization's liability rises and the workplace becomes less fair for employees.
This two-hour training explains where the laws line up, where they conflict, and which takes precedence. Workers' comp is a state law while the FMLA and ADAAA are federal, and state civil rights laws add another layer. An on-the-job injury under workers' comp may also be a serious health condition under the FMLA, and state laws may cover more conditions, smaller employers or situations such as domestic abuse.
You'll work through medical certification, intermittent leave, accommodation, light duty and terminations after FMLA leave runs out.
These laws create employee entitlements, not optional benefits. If you fail to apply them, employees can still claim their protection; failing to grant FMLA leave does not remove the right to job-protected leave. All three laws share the goal of helping the employee return to work.
This session suits HR leaders and practitioners, leave and benefits administrators, managers, business owners, privacy officers and healthcare counsel.
