Managing Leaves and Disability Accommodations

Navigating the complex web of employee leave and accommodation requests is challenging for even the most seasoned human resources professional!

Will this process ever end?

This program will dive into the patchwork of federal, state and local laws applicable to New York employers and equip you with the tools to confidently engage in the interactive process, provide reasonable accommodations, and assess if an employee on extended leave remains qualified for their role.
