Return to Work: ADA, FMLA and Workers' Comp
Return to Work Interactive Workshop – Get Your Injured Employees Back to Work – Part 3
May 7, 2008 – 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern-time
Are you sure you can safely navigate the murky waters of leave and disability management?
Federal Leave Laws can be complex and understanding how they interact with workers’ compensation can be daunting. We will review the exposures created by light duty restrictions and evaluate how Federal policies interact with the workers’ comp system.
Do you know how to:
- Analyze the Federal leave exposure created when employees are injured?
- Implement return to work policies that comply with ADA guidelines?
- Properly evaluate permanent restrictions to determine if the employee qualifies for ADA accommodation?
- Determine if a “serious workers’ comp health condition” is covered under ADA?
- Identify which law applies when leave laws overlap?
- Determine when Workers’ Comp leave counts against an employee’s FMLA leave?
- Make termination decisions when Workers’ Comp, ADA and FMLA overlap—without second-guessing yourself?
If the answer to any of these questions is no, then you cannot afford to miss this Workshop!
