Description

Ever have an employee fake an illness at work? Gone every Friday and Monday during the summer? Avoiding reviews? Supposedly sick at home but you hear stories about them being out and about? Everybody's got at least one of these malingerers. Disciplining employees for faking sick leave can be extremely challenging, especially with all of the leave laws that can trip an employer up and result in some really serious legal trouble. You need to know how you can legally discipline, including terminate, an employee who abuses your sick leave policy and what you cannot do to that employee.

This informative webinar, presented by experienced employment law attorney Deirdre Kamber Todd, will address an employer’s multiple legal challenges, such as the EEOC's guidelines, USERRA's changes to FMLA, return to work policies, the "undue hardship" defense, and best practices for navigating these murky waters.

Agenda

The webinar will cover the permitted actions that can be taken by an employer against a leave-abusing employee under:

ADA
FMLA
Workers Compensation Laws
An Employer’s Sick Leave Policy
Paid Time-Off Policy
Ms. Todd will also discuss best practices for dealing with your employees who abuse sick leave.

Who Should Attend

Human resource managers and in-house attorneys will benefit from this informative webinar.
