Family & Medical Leave Act (EVEN for the under 50 census businesses), Americans with Disability (ADA), Worker’s Compensation, and other leaves of absence – if you have ever been confused about how to stay compliant, this workshop will answer those questions! Whether legally saying yes or no to leave, it is vital that you are 100% sure you are denying or approving leave based on facts. The only way to protect your company from potential legal backlash is to comply.

During this workshop, you will learn:

  • How to easily clarify the “gray areas” for leaves of absence
  • Learn WHY even employers with less than 50 employees MUST interact with FMLA components
  • The different types of leave your employees can take and what qualifies for each one
  • Exactly which medical conditions can be granted leave under the confusing triangle of FMLA, ADA and Workers’ Comp
  • To pay or not to pay…isn’t that always the question?
  • How to administer fair and consistent leave programs (complying with laws and how to be prudent/good employer without being taken advantage of)

In addition to holding an Associate's and Bachelor's Degree in Management, a Master's Degree in Management and Human Resources Management; a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) Certification, and the coveted SHRM-CP (Society of Human Resources Management Certified Professional) certification, our presenter, Linda Drassen (Human Resources Sherpa), brings multiple years of progressive, senior-level human resources experience in a variety of fields.
