A timely session covering how to manage disability-related absences and related compliance obligations, documentation, and best practices.
Attendance issues tied to medical conditions and disabilities are among the most difficult problems employers face. Even when FMLA does not apply, ADA and state human rights laws still create real obligations and real risk.
This practical webinar focuses on how employers can manage disability-related absences, guide supervisors, enforce attendance expectations, and address excessive absenteeism without creating discrimination or retaliation claims.
The program addresses the real issues employers face, including intermittent absences, inconsistent enforcement, supervisors saying too much or too little, and the challenge of separating protected leave from ongoing performance and attendance problems. Participants will walk away with a clear, practical framework for:
- Managing legally protected absences without losing operational control
- Enforcing attendance expectations lawfully and consistently
- Guiding supervisors on what they can ask, what they should document, and when to escalate concerns
- Navigating the interactive accommodation process in a way that protects both the employee and the organization
- Addressing excessive absenteeism and suspected abuse without creating retaliation or interference claims
Who should attend? Owners, HR professionals, managers, and supervisors. Registrants will have the option to purchase the Supervisor’s Guide to Managing Disability-Related Absences.
