EFFECTIVELY MANAGING LEAVES OF ABSENCE AND THE REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION PROCESS: 2011 UPDATE
There has been a huge change in workplace law over the past 20 years. More employee absences have become protected by new, burdensome “leave” laws. At the same time, the Americans With Disabilities Act has been amended to include many more employees. Therefore, there will be more requests for reasonable accommodation, including more leaves of absence. How can an employer manage all of these employees’ requests for changes to the work environment and time off? Through hypotheticals and group discussion, attendees will learn how to apply core legal principles to the most common real-world situations. We address a number of topics in this session, including:
Attendees will receive checklists, charts, resources for finding accommodation ideas, and more! Certificates are provided upon seminar completion.
