Overview

Cases that involve the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) and workers' compensation are sometimes called the Bermuda Triangle of employment law. The three laws often conflict, which leaves HR professionals unsure how to proceed.

This 75-minute FMLA, ADA and workers' compensation training gives an overview of each law and its purpose, then maps where they overlap and clash when you manage employee absences.

Through case studies, you'll practice describing and analyzing situations where the laws interact, and see why thinking a situation through before acting is the best protection against costly lawsuits and settlements.

Why attend: Violations can bring back pay, front pay and liquidated damages, sometimes in multi-million-dollar judgments, and supervisors and managers have been held personally liable under the FMLA. Knowing the rights and duties of both employer and employee helps keep your company out of court. This session suits supervisors, HR professionals, payroll and benefits administrators, business managers and business owners.
