When Can I Finally Fire the Absent Employee?

ADAAA/FMLA/WC


The Americans With Disabilities Act Amendments Act, Family and Medical Leave Act and Worker’s Compensation all have accommodation components or provisions that relate to employment protection or continuation.  We will provide an in-depth look at the likely expansion of leave of absence rights as they relate to the ADAAA and the FMLA and how, when appropriate, Worker’s Compensation provisions should be considered. 
Effectively monitoring and managing these seemingly conflicting regulations can be all too confusing.  This session will detail the governmental regulations relating to employee absences and provide guidelines for compliance. 
During an interactive session, real workplace examples will be shared, openly discussed and decisions reached about each mock employee’s rights regarding employment continuation and/or job protection.  Attendees will learn when, after exhausting all of the controlling regulations, it is finally appropriate to end the employment relationship with an absent employee. 
The specific learning objectives for attendees are to be able to:

Identify the employment protection provisions of various regulations
Recognize emerging trends regarding leave in excess of that allowed by FMLA as a form of reasonable accommodation
Safely recommend termination of an absent employee.
