Event Synopsis:

Although the Family Leave Medical Act (FMLA) was enacted in 1993, employers are still attempting to correctly apply the law and to cope with the on-going regulatory changes. The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) significantly expanded the scope of disability discrimination protection afforded to employees and job applicants to strike a balance between employer and employee interests. It overturned many prior court decisions, but created additional burdens for employer compliance.

Speakers will review recent court cases and regulatory guidance to help you avoid practices currently being targeted for future ADA and FMLA lawsuits. They will also highlight the FMLA / ADAAA compliance challenges that employers face when obtaining and reviewing medical information and dealing with returning employees.

A panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discussion the latest updates and current issues surrounding Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) Compliance.
