Overview
This webinar will cover the complicated leave issues that have arisen due to the COVID19 pandemic. Employers are still muddling through their legal obligations due to COVID. The most difficult issues have dealt with leave under the Americans with Disabilities Act or the Family and Medical Leave Act. While agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have issued guidance – they are just that. Their guidance (and your attorney’s guidance) are just starting to be tested in the court system.
