There are numerous laws affecting Leave Management - FMLA, ADA, COBRA, and Workers' Compensation, many with seemingly contradictory rules.

While each law has numerous requirements, the challenge for many HR professionals is in determining which law takes precedent and/or applies. For instance, the HR team must know how to handle ALL of the following scenarios. In other words, do you absolutely know how to handle:

• When the Alternative Position rule applies

• When the Light-Duty rules apply
• FMLA Restoration Rule with Light-Duty Assignments
• FMLA Leave vs Reasonable Accommodation: which applies?
• The rules - and requirements - for Medical Certification issues
• The contradiction between the Alternative Position and Reasonable Accommodation
• Restoration And Reasonable Accommodation vs restoration to the same or equivalent job
• What to do at the end 0f 12 weeks of FMLA
• Reinstatement rights
• How to extend Leave as a Reasonable Accommodation
• How to handle reassignment to an Equivalent Position vs reassignment to a Lower Level Position
  
• Return-to-Work issues such as disability-related questions
  
• Loss of coverage issues, such as during FMLA leave

OK...you get the idea. This is complicated, but this is where this training program can help. It goes into specifics on how to handle all of the above issues, plus more!
