Companies have come to believe that the answer is always “no” whenever the ADA or FMLA is involved. Employers are told so often what they cannot do, that it is easy to lose sight of everything that they can do. The presenters will identify actions that employers can take under the ADA and FMLA in a variety of situations. Many of these actions are “reverse engineered” from existing, but little-known, case law. These actions run the gamut and include: determining when the FMLA/ADA are not applicable; pushing back on certification problems; when medical exams or testing are appropriate and lawful; ways to not “give up the store” in dealing with requests for reasonable accommodation; and when you can terminate even though the FMLA/ADA are “in the picture.” This session is a great opportunity to increase knowledge of options on a topic that likely occurs on a daily basis in the workplace.
