Join us for the second in our three-part series on “Employment Law Fundamentals,” which is designed for new lawyers, lawyers-to-be, and those who are new to this area of law. In this session, panelists provide an overview of key laws governing employee leave, disability and accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act. The panel addresses the basics of a leave request, issue spotting, how to handle situations in which the law may impose an overlapping obligation (pregnancy, disabled employees and work injuries), and best practices for advocating for and managing employee concerns related to leave.
