Product Description
Product Description
Issues related to employee leave and accommodations are constant challenges for all employment lawyers and employers. This program reviews the nuts and bolts, as well as the thornier nuances, of the key leave laws in Massachusetts—including the Family and Medical Leave Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, Massachusetts Earned Sick Time Law, Massachusetts Domestic Violence Act, Massachusetts Parental Leave, and Massachusetts’ anti-discrimination law (Chapter 151B). After establishing the basics, the panel examines what constitutes reasonable accommodations and dissects the employer-employee interactive dialogue process. The panelists also analyze the evolving nature of accommodations for pregnant workers, the unique nature of psychiatric disabilities, and trends on the horizon, including pending legislation. Hypotheticals based on real scenarios bring the concepts and law to life.
