One of the most litigated areas of employment law is leaves of absence. Federal leave of absence laws include the ADA, FMLA, Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), and Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). It is possible for your organization to be exposed to significant and costly risks if you make a mistake in granting, denying, or managing a leave under one of these laws. When an employee requests leave, you must know exactly what process to follow, what documents to complete, and what answers to give. Besides covering federal leave laws, our program explains best practice compliance strategies with regard to leaves of absence.
During this informative, hands-on certification program, our speaker will discuss:
- ADA, FMLA, PSA, and PWFA requirements
- Compliance best practices
- Protecting your organization from potential legal liability
- Assisting colleagues who request leaves
- Expanding your professional knowledge and propelling your career
- Proving your knowledge with a certificate
