FMLA-ADA-Workers' Comp Playbook

Mastering the “Devil’s Triangle” of FMLA, ADA, and Workers’ Comp leave laws is no easy feat. The integration and overlap involved can seem mind boggling, especially if you’re not a specialist dedicated 100% of the time to leave of absence administration. We’ll address the history and  complexities of leave laws, best practices for employers, and the role of the “ADA interactive process” in capturing your organization’s efforts at returning individuals to work at every turn. Concurrent leaves, extended leaves and accommodations, and return-to-work complications are all covered in practical detail.  Worksheets, tips, and templates explain the background and spirit of these laws as well as where plaintiffs’ and workers’ comp attorneys attempt to manipulate them. We’ll also include how to get the most out of the relationship with your employment defense attorney, what free resources are available to support you further, and key terms and definitions to help you “speak the language” effectively and know what to look for in your FMLA, ADA, and workers’ comp leave administration practices.
