As many have noted, the interaction of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and workers' compensation laws is known by many employers to be the Bermuda Triangle of employment law. To help fill in the gaps, this training session will analyze the statutes, regulations, and guidance to answer the most frequently asked questions about these laws.

When administering the ADA and FMLA it is important to consider the complexity of workers’ compensation in the mix.

Most employers assume that 12 weeks’ leave for employees ensures compliance with the FMLA, and that takes care of their obligation towards the employee as well. However, if the employee also is disabled, the employer’s duty under the ADA may be just beginning. The key to untangling ADA and FMLA is to understand the obligations under each statute. Therefore, it is crucial for employers to have a sound knowledge of the laws to apply them correctly and avoid litigation.

What are the eligibility/coverage criteria under the FMLA and the ADA/ADAAA and workers comp? When might an extended leave be a reasonable accommodation? When might it be an undue hardship? Undue hardship can mean different things to different employers. If you are in healthcare, pharma, banking and finance, to name a few examples, accommodations of leave requests that may be feasible for many other employers, might, for you, be an undue hardship. If it’s not deemed an undue hardship are there steps you can take to mitigate the burden? What are the notice requirements? In this webinar, participants will get answers to these and many other questions.
