Even the simplest leave requests can be complex and nuanced, posing challenges to even the most seasoned Leave Administrators. The possibility of costly, drawn-out litigation only adds to the stress and pressure. Add to that: most employees making leave requests will be eligible for protection under the FMLA, ADA and, as well as State medical leave and other COVID-19 emergency laws.
In this session, our speaker Margie Faulk will discuss key, hot-button compliance issues and share some Best Practices for managing a workforce while staying in compliance during a pandemic.

WHY SHOULD ATTEND
Unpaid leave and Paid-leave regulations are getting complicated. As support grows for (and some business groups push against) a national law mandating paid family leave and paid sick days, some states, cities, and individual organizations are out in front—adopting measures of their own. This proliferation and mishmash of regulations can make staying in compliance challenges.
This training will identify their current leave programs and how the state regulations integrate or clash.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
All Employers
Business Owners
Company Leadership
Compliance professionals
Payroll Administrators
HR Professionals
Managers/Supervisors
Employers in all industries
Small Business Owners
