The FMLA and ADA have challenged both experienced and new HR professionals since they became law. Recent changes to the FMLA and the ADAAA have increased this confusion, as well as when you add pregnancy disability related issues and Workers’ Compensation. This workshop provides an overview of areas in which the biggest mistakes are made, the tricky transition from FMLA to ADA, concurrent ADA compliance requirements when designating FMLA, and the significant differences between the compliance requirements.

We will also provide strategies for avoiding the most common mistakes made when responding to the complex interaction between FMLA and ADA (AA) as it relates to intermittent leave requests, and unpredictable leave accommodations. Do you refrain from terminating employees because you are concerned about running afoul with either the FMLA or ADA and do not want a lawsuit? LMS will show you have to transition these tricky waters and avoid litigation.

This interactive workshop will help you understand when and how you can have confidence to terminate employees when they are not complying with notification and intermittent leaves as they relate to both FMLA and the ADA. Learn when enough is enough, and how to clearly document the process to avoid costly lawsuits.
