This HR compliance will review the critical elements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, Workers Compensation as well as other relevant state leave laws and provide solutions to managing absenteeism fairly. There are few things as disruptive to operations as unexpected absences of employees. Many organizations have come to value dependability of attendance over other employee characteristics.
Employee illness, personal circumstances or simply the desire to go fishing leave employers with the recurrent nightmare of managing absenteeism. Like other aspects of today’s workplace, managing attendance has grown more complicated due to the number of employment laws that protect employee absences. When legal complexity is combined with an increased willingness of employees to sue when their rights are violated, safely managing employee absenteeism has never been so important - or so challenging. This presentation will review the critical elements of the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, Workers Compensation as well as other relevant state leave laws and provide solutions to managing absenteeism fairly and soundly from both a business and a legal perspective.
