“Leave” Nothing to Chance: Your Ultimate Guide for Leaves, Accommodations, and Related Employment Law Matters

Leaves of absence and accommodation requests under the FMLA, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) continue to tick upward, and the trend is likely to continue. With this increase comes a wider variety of requests, especially with regard to accommodations. This presentation will review the basic requirements of each law and their interrelatedness and differences, as well as gray areas and real-world scenarios that keep employers up at night (including remote work challenges). Speakers Kelly Hughes and Meredith Hamilton from Ogletree Deakins will also explore confidentiality and privacy requirements, lessons learned from recent jury verdicts, and related implications. Attendees will “leave” with concrete strategies and insights into what employers can do to stay compliant while minimizing risk.
