Understanding the Overlap between FMLA, ADA and Workers Comp
OVERVIEW
Rare is the employer who hasn’t encountered a thorny employee
leave issue. Many employers assume that an employee who isn’t eligible
for FMLA leave does not have job protection. But the FMLA is not the only
federal law that could provide employees job-protected leave. TheAmericans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act
Amendments Act (ADAAA) require employers to provide reasonable accommodations
to qualified employees with disabilities so that they can perform the essential
functions of their jobs—and a leave of absence may very well be such a
reasonable accommodation. Employees who sustain a work-related injury may be
eligible for time off from work under workers’ compensation laws.
Often two or more of these laws may apply at the same time, or
consecutively. The potential for overlap, not to mention administrative
headaches and the impact on your company’s bottom line seems to increase exponentially.
These three seemingly different bodies of law often intersect in a way that
leaves many employers scratching their heads. Guess what. Employee Leave
doesn’t have to give you headaches! In this HR metrics training we’ll help you
begin to unravel this tangled web of often overlapping employee leave laws.
