Description
When an employee or their family member faces a serious health condition, the standard twelve weeks of job-protected leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) may not be enough. But what happens when those twelve weeks are exhausted? Understanding how to navigate extended leave requests while remaining compliant with federal regulations is crucial for employers. This webinar will provide practical guidance on managing extended absences, including how FMLA interacts with other laws and company policies.
Join us as we explore how to correctly calculate FMLA leave, manage leave extension requests, and assess your responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and workers' compensation laws. You’ll also gain clarity on handling challenging scenarios—such as requests for indefinite leave—and when it's legally permissible to terminate employment due to a failure to return. Don't let uncertainty put your organization at risk—learn how to protect your company while supporting your employees.
