In this session, Littler Shareholders Ethan Thomas (Las Vegas) and Michelle Gomez (Denver) will guide you through addressing return to work and work-from-home battles, performance issues commingled with protected leaves or accommodations, leave obligations beyond FMLA, organizational changes and the impact of the FMLA/ADA on those changes. They will also touch on the additional hot topic of lawsuits over access to companies’ websites and physical locations.
