This session presents the legal framework and offers practical tools for effective management and coordination of leave requests under ADA and FMLA.
Both the FMLA and ADA require employees and employers to engage in an individualized interactive process to discuss requests for leave. This session will address legal and practical implications and the roles and obligations of HR, managers, and employees when exploring leave options, especially relating to such complex issues as intermittent leave and reasonable accommodation. This interactive session will also include case study exercises and best practices for managing this multifaceted process.
