ADA, FMLA & Worker’s Compensation: The Compliance Triple Threat

Course Description:

There’s little doubt that the ADA, FMLA, and Worker’s Compensation connection is one of the most confusing, conflicting and legally dangerous areas of employee relations.

Individually, each law is distinct. But when they overlap, the real trouble begins.  You need to know what your obligations are and what your actions need to be when FMLA says one thing, ADA says another, and Workers’ Comp gets thrown into the mix.  

During this comprehensive audio conference, you’ll learn what you should do when an employee injury, illness or disability throws you into the middle of this complex trio of laws.  You’ll also find out:

• When and where the three laws intersect, where they agree, and where they have opposite interpretations on the exact same condition;
• How to identify potential trouble spots in your company and determine what accommodations should be made; and
• Key techniques to better manage the records, reports and forms required by each law.

Plus, you’ll learn how to protect yourself, your organization, and your employees from those minor compliance missteps that could land your organization in legal hot water. 

By the end of this critical program, you’ll also know: 

• Which leave laws take precedence and when
• How  job-related injuries are covered by the ADA Amendment
• How to tell if an employee really has a “serious health condition” under FMLA statutes
• How the ADA Amendment and new FMLA rules impact employer return to work (RTW) programs
• How the EEOC definition of “reasonable” accommodations could conflict with the ADA, FMLA, Workers’ Comp Bermuda triangle
• How ADA and FMLA rules affect intermittent or unplanned leaves
• How the ADA and FMLA could limit an employer’s ability to get medical info to support leave claims
• What a “regarded as” claim is and how to handle it
• How to handle abuse of FMLA, ADA, and Workers’ Comp laws and termination issues
