The COVID-19 pandemic has left an indelible impact on the workplace, causing employers to deal with a wave of medical leaves and a shift to a virtual workplace. And now, with the roll-out of the vaccines, there are added wrinkles of whether to mandate them and possibly accommodate employees who challenge the use of the vaccines. As a result, employers face a host of compliance issues in navigating vaccine, leave, and accommodation issues.
Through the use of case studies (and maybe a tiny bit of humor), we will cover:
- Is an employee who tests positive for COVID-19 eligible for FMLA leave?
- Whether FMLA leave applies when an employee claims they cannot return to work during the pandemic because they have an underlying medical condition?
- Can an employee take FMLA to leave to sit at home during a pandemic with a family member who is considered high risk?
- Is physical presence at work critical anymore? Handling work-from-home requests during the pandemic
Navigating Difficult FMLA and ADA Issues in the Middle of a Pandemic
In this complimentary webinar, we will tackle the most common and difficult vaccine, leave and accommodation scenarios that employers have (and will) encounter during the COVID-19 pandemic and will provide practical suggestions on how employers can address these situations.
