    Product Description

    Sort out the overlapping provisions and often conflicting requirements employers face when ensuring compliance with key employee leave-related statutes: the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Massachusetts Fair Unemployment Practices Act, and the Massachusetts Workers' Compensation Act, among others. This compact resource helps you find quick answers to the myriad questions that arise, from the first day the employee suffers an injury or reports a medical issue to the day he or she returns to work after a period of major illness or disability.

    • Update: June 2022

      Dear Subscriber:

      Thank you for updating your library with this revised 2022 edition of Employee Leave and Accommodations Law in Massachusetts . Now under the editorial direction of Alice A. Kokodis and featuring a refreshed slate of authors, just some of the updates for 2022 include hypotheticals and guidance on the following workplace questions:

      • How does the new Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave Act interact with other leave and accommodation laws like the federal Family and Medical Leave Act?
      • Does an employer have to allow remote work as a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act simply because it allowed remote work during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic? What steps should an employer take in response to an employee who makes such a request because they are at an increased risk of suffering severe complications from COVID-19?
      • If an employee requests assistive work equipment as a reasonable accommodation, does it matter whether the employee works remotely or in the office?
      • How should an employer approach an employee's request to transfer to a different supervisor?
      • Can an employee return to work on an intermittent, rather than full-time, basis after taking parental leave for the birth or adoption of a child?

      We at MCLE trust that you will find this material useful in your practice and valuable in your law library.

      Cordially,

      Alexis J. LeBlanc, Esq., MCLE Publications Attorney
