Coordinating FMLA, ADA, and Workers Compensation

There are times when an employee can qualify for FMLA, ADA, and Workers Compensation at the same times, yet the provisions of these laws sometimes contradict each other. Whats an employer to do when that happens? Compliance with one law could mean violation of another. With triple the possible penalties and sanctions, it pays to understand all of the ways that these statutes overlap, and to know how to coordinate your policies and practices to satisfy the requirements. Join us as we address the following critical concepts: How a "disability" under the ADA compares to and contrasts with a "serious health condition" under the FMLA What an employer should do when a disabled employee under ADA is on Workers Compensation, particularly if the employee also qualifies for leave under FMLA The hidden DOL rule that most employers dont know about, and how it may restrict an employees job restoration rights before FMLA is exhausted How job restoration rights differ for disabled employees vs. nondisabled employees upon return from an FMLA leave How FMLA medical certification rules change when an individual is on Workers Compensation. How "light duty" situations under Workers Compensation are different from "alternative positions" under the ADA and the FMLA How the HIPAA privacy rules impact the employers options and the employees rights under these laws. While this presentation will provide brief overviews of each of these three laws, the webcast will be most beneficial to those benefits professionals who have a basic understanding of the requirements of FMLA, ADA, and Workers Compensation. Dont miss this opportunity to learn how to comply with the requirements of these laws when two or more of them apply to the same situation.
