Minds on Medical Leave: OFLA, FMLA Changes & More
Your employee may be sick, so why are you the one with
a headache?
Determining an employee’s eligibility for
legally-protected medical leave can be tricky -- and it only
gets more complicated when workers’ compensation leave,
or potential disability-related issues overlap. Now that
the federal regulations governing medical leave were recently
revised, it’s time to brush up on medical leave basics
and more.
-
Who is protected under the Oregon Family Leave Act (OFLA), and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)? What rights does an employer have to question the need for medical leave?
-
What do employers need to know about the legal definition of
a "serious health condition?" Or a "qualifying
exigency” under the new federal laws?
- How do the medical leave, workers’ compensation and disability laws work together? And how do the recent legal changes affect your business?
We’ll cover these issue and much more, helping you to spot the issues where employers are most likely to get tripped up –- and hopefully work to avoid the lengthy lawsuits that can follow mismanaged medical leave. Whether you’re new to the administration of medical leave or a seasoned pro looking to brush up, you won’t want to miss our seminar! Unless you’re really sick, of course. (We won’t require a doctor’s note.)
Employment law seminars are free and
a light breakfast is provided. Space is limited, so don't
wait to RSVP.
