Summary of Program:

It is not enough to focus on just one law when an employee is unable to work and is absent from the workplace due to some medical condition or injury suffered by the employee or a family member. Instead, employers are required to understand and comply with how the courts, and federal and state regulatory agencies, are interpreting the interplay between various laws like the FMLA/CFRA, ADA/FEHA, PDL, PFL, and workers’ compensation. This seminar is designed to help employers and HR professionals understand this complex interplay and to provide some practical guidance on administering leaves and absences.

Some of the topics to be discussed include:

  • What Does Each Statute Provide: A Summary of the Statutes and a Discussion of the Difference Between "Statutory Leaves" and "Wage Replacement Benefits."
  • What are the Courts saying? Recent case law.
  • Determining Under What Circumstances the Statutory Leaves and/or Wage Replacement Benefits May Overlap and How to Evaluate and Determine the Employee’s Entitle-ments and the Employer’s Obligations Under Each Law.
  • The Importance of Engaging in the "Interactive Process."
  • Effective Documentation: Policies, Leave Administration Documents, and Medical Certifications.
