HR Quick Quiz: An employee slips and falls at work. You know that workers' comp applies. And as his rehabilitation continues, you start trying to figure out when FMLA/CFRA kick in -- or maybe they already have.

And when the employee calls you and asks for a reasonable accommodation to return to work, ADA and FEHA are added to the already complicated mix.

So how can you be sure you're applying the correct California and federal laws -- and in the correct order? You want to stay in compliance, as well as be sensitive to your employees' needs, but you also don't want to keep approving leave if it's not appropriate. Participate in this interactive webinar and you'll get answers to your toughest leave questions and build the skills to you need to make leave decisions with confidence:

  • What to do when an ill or injured employee exhausts leave and is still unable to return to work
  • How to determine if an employee should be granted more time off than CFRA provides
  • Real-life scenarios of ADA/FEHA, FMLA/CFRA, and workers’ comp interaction
  • Red flags that your existing leave policies and practices will spark claims against your organization
  • When to engage in the interactive process with an accommodation -- even when the employee doesn’t ask for it
  • When a “serious health condition” under the FMLA/CFRA will likely be a disability under the ADA/FEHA -- and when it won’t
  • When an employee who’s exhausted available FMLA/CFRA or workers’ comp leave may be entitled to additional time off under the ADA/FEHA as an accommodation
  • How long you must hold open a position when you’ve granted additional time off as an accommodation
  • The type of light-duty or other accommodations you should be prepared to provide so a worker can return to work
  • How to document your actions when reassignment, transfer, or termination appears to be the answer
  • The checklist to follow before reassigning, transferring, or terminating an employee protected under federal disability and leave laws

In just 90 minutes, you'll learn everything you need to know about correctly applying California and federal leave laws -- and in the correct order. Register now for this informative event for California HR professionals.
