Wait, What? FMLA/ADA Cases That Make You Say, “Hmmm?”

October 12, 202212:00 pm ESTFree Webinar

Employer reactions and responses to employee medical requests are often fraught with difficulty, as they work to navigate their obligations under the FMLA and ADA. We will review 2022 FMLA and ADA cases that teach us how to handle thorny situations, including how not to react. We will also share cases that make us ponder why certain ex-employees thought their claims had merit. And we will highlight several “best practices” that can assist employers in avoiding costly litigation or settlements.
