2024 DMEC FMLA/ADA Employer Compliance Conference: Name That Law - What to Do When a Leave Is Covered By More Than One Law

No matter the size, scope, or location of your company, you will encounter a scenario when an employee is on a single leave of absence that is covered by more than one law. Your challenge is to determine which aspect of each law takes precedence over the others. A single absence could be a qualified event under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, workers' compensation, state paid or unpaid family and medical leave laws, and/or a disability program. Add the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act into the mix, and you have a minefield of rules and regulations that may be tricky to traverse. During this interactive hour, we'll walk you through real-life complex scenarios that we see every day -- leaving you better educated and feeling confident you have the knowledge and resources you need when you come across these challenging situations.

• In this presentation, attendees will gain an understanding of how a single absence can qualify for multiple leave laws and / or paid benefits.
• In this presentation, attendees will be lead through real scenarios to learn how to apply concurrent laws/benefits.
• In this presentation, attendees will learn how to prioritize laws / benefits that differ to determine which takes precedence over another.
