Covers key, hot-button compliance issues and best practices for managing a workforce while staying in compliance during the pandemic.

Course description:

​

Even the simplest leave requests can be complex and nuanced, posing challenges to even the most seasoned Leave Administrators. The possibility of costly, drawn-out litigation, only adds to the stress and pressure. Add to that: most employees making leave requests will be eligible for protection under the FMLA, ADA and, as well as State medical leave and other COVID-19 emergency laws. In this webinar we will discuss key, hot-button compliance issues and share some Best Practices for managing a workforce while staying in compliance during a pandemic.

​

Areas Covered:

​

• FMLA, ADA, and Workers’ Comp Basics

• Where FMLA, ADA, and Workers’ Comp overlap, and where/how they differ

• COVID and ADA considerations

• Post-FFCRA obligations and considerations

• Screening for COVID

• Mandating vaccines and more

​

Why Should You Attend:

​

Paid-leave regulations are getting complicated. As support grows for (and some business groups push against) a national law mandating paid family leave and paid sick days, some states, cities and individual organizations are out in front—adopting measures of their own. This proliferation and mishmash of regulations can make staying in compliance challenging.
