Managing Leaves of Absence Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic: Guidelines for Administering FMLA and ADA

OVERVIEW

Managing leaves of absence under the major federal mandates can be confusing. Some employers with good intentions will administer both leaves by using the same forms, overlap the requirements, and consolidate the processes.

However, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) need to be administered using their own separate guidelines. When taken one by one, it’s clear that they are completely different in their own details and requirements and, as a result, must be managed carefully.

If you’re new to the field of leave management – whether you’re in Human Resources or not – or if your company is growing to the 50-employee mark, it’s wise to educate yourself about the FMLA and ADA and familiarize yourself with the details, especially with how they both are to be managed with COVID-19 requirements and safety protocols.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

By preparing yourself ahead of time, you’ll know the requirements of both the FMLA and ADA beforehand as opposed to implementing a plan and delivering on a process as a specific situation comes up. By attending this training session, you’ll have the information you need to build a process for your organization as well as build your own confidence in this area.

This course is especially helpful to the non-HR leader who manages employees and encounters requests for leaves of absence, accommodation, and time off for health reasons.

AREAS COVERED

• Define the coverage, details, and requirements to employers and employees under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
• Describe the coverage, details, and obligations to employers under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
• Leave management in HR and summarizing the situations under which both laws could apply.
• Enumerate guidelines for employers to administer and manage employees using both and/or either types of laws.
• Explain five critical steps to administering FMLA.
• Understand employer obligations and watch-out’s in this era of COVID-19 as they relate to FMLA and ADA.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The topics of FMLA and ADA became more complicated as the COVID-19 pandemic became a part of our everyday lives. This session will help you understand the leave management in HR, including the requirements of both laws in light of leaves of absence and reasonable accommodation that may or may not be COVID-19 related.

WHO WILL BENEFIT

• HR professionals, all levels
• Leaders, Managers, and Supervisors
• Small- and medium-size business owners

Coronavirus Risks and Opportunities - Ensuring Safe Business Operations in Compliance with the Updated Laws

Image
  OVERVIEW This webinar will provide an overview of measures that businesses can take to reduce their vulnerability to further disruption by COVID-19 and similar illnesses while they protect workers and other stakeholders such as customers, and also contribute to public health by "flattening the curve." The good news is that there is a wide array of proven off-the-shelf countermeasures such as social distancing, workplace controls, and face masks that impede the spread of contagious diseases. OSHA has already released authoritative guidance that is likely to be embodied in a formal standard later this year, but proactive organizations can have most of the requirements in place before they become mandatory. Many jobs can be performed remotely which eliminates the risk of contagion completely, and also reduces costs of a physical presence such as office or classroom space, and commuting and lodging costs. Organizations must also reassess supply chain vulnerabilities to forc
