Disability Management – The Critical Path in FMLA, ADA and Workers Comp Compliance
There are practical adjustments employers should consider in evaluating and managing
challenges brought to them under the FMLA (federal and State), the Disability laws
(federal and State) and Wisconsin Workers Compensation law. From identifying which
law applies to making the appropriate notices available to employees to managing the
absence to returning to work, a plan for compliance is critical to minimizing legal
exposure and employee satisfaction.

This Breakfast Briefing will include:
1. “Real life” examples of compliance complexities
2. An understanding of the rules and how to intertwine them for an effective
compliance policy
3. Problem situations and how to develop creative solutions for operational
effectiveness
4. The “watch outs” that create legal exposure
