Minimize legal risk by staying up-to-date on current rules and regulations associated with employees returning to work when the workplace has changed.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations have undergone one or more phases of reductions-in-force, as well as restructuring and creative solutions such as reduced work hours or pay. What can such organizations legally do when employees on a leave of absence want to return to such a changed workplace?
This webinar will assist you with making the tough decision on what can or must be done with employees who want to return to work after a leave of absence. Your state's workers' compensation laws, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act are just a few of the laws that govern this difficult minefield that must be navigated by employers. Failing to comply with these and other employment laws can expose you and your organization to significant legal liability and damage awards. This webinar will provide critical answers to employers so that the risk of such legal liability is drastically reduced or eliminated altogether, despite the complexity and variances associated with the various applicable laws.
