What single employee issue do you deal with most often at work?

Especially these days, you spend a huge chunk of your time navigating the complex array of laws and policies dealing with employee leave.

One simple HR or management mistake can create an angry employee, a career black eye … and a million-dollar lawsuit. And, with the enactment of new federal and state laws providing leave in response to COVID-19, the stakes have never been higher.

On Thursday, August 20, stop wondering if you're making all the right decisions and start managing employee leave with confidence.

This webinar (updated with all the new leave laws and regulations passed in the past two months) will teach you how to handle the most challenging leave requests that can simultaneously require compliance with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the brand-new Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), plus other laws, such as pregnancy bias and workers' compensation laws.

You will learn:

• Your compliance responsibilities under the new FFCRA, which enacted the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSLA) and the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act (EFMLEA)
• When you're required to offer job-protected leave under the FMLA, ADA, and FFCRA
• What to do when these laws overlap with each other … and with your time-off policies
• When you must provide leave for any kind of medical accommodation
• What leave is considered "reasonable" under the law – and what's an "undue hardship"
• A five-step roadmap for evaluating leave requests to determine which laws apply
• The red flags of leave abuse – and how to respond
• How to manage return-to-work issues after injury, sickness, or work closure (intermittent leave? light duty? fitness-for-duty tests?)
• How the ever-growing list of state and local leave laws affect your decisions
• What to do when an employee's leave time has been exhausted
• Answers to YOUR specific leave issues in your workplace

Using real-life scenarios, attorney Kevin Roberts will guide you through the practical steps for fielding the most complex leave requests, managing the time off and preventing abuse.

Stop worrying about mismanaging the new leave laws and triggering lawsuits by improperly denying leave. Take control of your employee leave compliance by registering for this must-attend webinar.
