Complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act is hard enough on its own. When the Family and Medical Leave Act or workers' compensation also applies, it's easy to lose track of which law requires what. This 90-minute FMLA, ADA and workers' comp webinar clears up that overlap.
You'll tackle common misconceptions: that the ADA is abused through vague diagnoses, when it requires reasonable accommodation for qualified individuals unless it causes undue hardship; that employees must explicitly request FMLA leave or that disruptive intermittent leave can be refused; and that workers' comp only covers employer-fault or physical injuries, when it pays lost wages and medical care for work-related injuries.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Violating federal leave and disability rules can bring large fines, penalties and even criminal sanctions. Managing three overlapping regimes at once is where many employers slip up.
This training gives employers, business owners, leaders, compliance and HR professionals, managers and supervisors in every industry the tools to apply each law correctly and understand what compliance looks like when an employee or family member needs medical leave.
