HR Toolkit Series Part 3: Navigating Employee Medical Leave and Disability Issues

Issues relating to employee medical leave and disability are among the most complex faced by Human Resources professionals.

Kara Ariail, a partner in Holland & Knight's Labor, Employment and Benefits Group, and Kevin D'Olivo, an associate in Holland & Knight's Litigation and Dispute Resolution Practice, will share key considerations and strategies to enable participants to effectively navigate compliance challenges under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as state and local leave laws.

Specifically, Ms. Ariail and Mr. D'Olivo will address:

• the ADA interactive process for evaluating reasonable accommodations 
• complicated medical leave issues such as intermittent leave and ensuring management engagement 
• compliance with the rapidly expanding number of state and local paid sick leave laws 
• the intersection between an employer's leave and accommodation obligations, and workers' compensation, short-term disability and other insurance programs 

We hope you can join us for this informative session.
