ADA/FMLA Leave Issues

Human resource professionals know it is no longer easy to handle employee leaves. Instead of being concerned with company leave policies and workers’ compensation claims; employers now have to consider a host of other laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. During this webinar, we will walk you through this minefield. In this webinar you will learn:
