Cline Williams Academy Webinar - Accommodation and Leave Issues under Federal and State Law

Employee requests for leave and other accommodations continue to grow and implicate a myriad of employment law issues.  This presentation will discuss a commonsense approach to leave and accommodation under various federal statutes, including the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.  Join us for this complimentary webinar as we discuss the following:
 

1. Recognizing formal and informal requests for accommodation.
2. Differentiating between the employer’s duties and those of the employee in the interactive process.
3. Common fact scenarios and corresponding reasonable, low-cost accommodations.
4. Coordinating requests for leave and accommodation with other employer obligations, such as unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act and paid leave under state law.
5. Dealing with unresponsive or uncooperative employees. 
6. Best practices for documenting the interactive process.
