The Interplay of the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and Workers’ Compensation

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and Workers Compensation laws-the three core US laws concerning employment-are intricately related to each other. Their relationship with each other is such that it has earned the epithet, the “Bermuda Triangle of employment law”.

Considering that employers who come under these laws can be hauled up legally if they fail to comply with these laws; it is absolutely essential for them to understand the nitty-gritty of each of these laws and the way each relates to the other. The penalties that attach to noncompliance are significant. So, employers are morally and legally bound to implement the ADA, FMLA and Workers Compensation laws at their organizations to ensure that the employees receive the benefits and protections these laws provide.

To do so, everyone in the organization concerned with the application of these laws, such as senior leadership, human resources professionals, compliance professionals, payroll professionals, and operations professionals, needs to be aware of the meaning, purpose and detail of these laws.

It is to familiarize them with not just the letter, but also the spirit of these laws that GlobalCompliancePanel, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, is organizing a six-hour learning session on the topic, “The Interplay of the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and Workers’ Compensation”, on January 15, 2020.

Diane L. Dee, President of Advantage HR Consulting LLC, will be the expert at this session. Please log on to Globalcompliancepanel to register for this highly pertinent and valuable webinar.

Each of these laws carries its own unique purposes and background in which it was legislated. At their core, this the purview of each of these laws:

• The ADA: Aimed at prohibiting discrimination at the workplace
• The FMLA: This law sets minimum leave standards
• Workers compensation laws: Set the rules for the ways and extent to which employees who get injured at the workplace need to be compensated and rehabilitated and for minimizing employer liability.

There is significant overlap when these three laws are to be applied in practice, often in tandem. For example, most unscheduled and scheduled absences related to the illness of an employee or a family member, call for application of each, two or all three of these laws. When these laws are not implemented in the way they are supposed to be, the employers risk facing significant penalties and may have to take remedial actions that could include reinstatement, backpays, retroactive benefits, and damages of various kinds.

Participants of this webinar will gain a clear understanding of each of these laws individually, and more importantly, the way they interact with each other. They will learn how to integrate these aspects of these laws into company policies. The expert will also show how employers should make these policies known to the employees.

Knowledge of employment laws is absolutely crucial for organizations

As the new presidential administration settles in in the US, employment law could be an area in which to expect tremendous changes. While what the new president’s open and vocal support for protection of the domestic workforce will mean to employment laws may take some to fully unfold and unravel; a look at the evolution of the important employment laws and the changes taking place into them of late should serve as some kind of indication of what is to come.

A fact of additional significance to employers is that there has been a steady increase in the number of employment lawsuits of late.

Lack of knowledge of the law is at the root of lawsuits

Most of these lawsuits are a result of the lack of understanding that employers have of workplace issues. Companies in which the managements are ignorant about these issues or choose to overlook them end up facing a host of issues such as:

o  Discrimination suits

o  Employee turnover

o  Unplanned expenses

o  Settlements

o  Litigation

o  Lawyer fees

o  Low morale on the part of employees

o  A bad beating to their image.

The means to avoiding such scenarios is for organizations to grasp the enormity of these actions. If they have to avoid litigation and other reputation-damaging actions; they need to be aware of the employment law regulations and be compliant with these. They also need to be clear in their understanding of what to expect from the new administration.

A session to help get thorough understanding of employment laws

It is to impart understanding of these topics that a GlobalCompliancePanel, a leading global name in the field of regulatory compliance trainings, will be organizing a two-day seminar. Vanessa G. Nelson, who is founder and President of award-winning Expert Human Resources, which she founded to help companies maintain employment law compliance, avoid workplace litigation, maximize human capital, create great teams, and reduce costs, will be the Director of this course.

To get complete understanding of all the crucial aspects of human resource law, the ways by which to comply with employment laws and regulations and the potential impact on employment law from the actions of the new administration; please register for this seminar by visiting Knowledge of employment laws is absolutely crucial for organizations .

A clear roadmap to advanced human resources and employment law

The essence of this seminar is the roadmap to advanced human resources and employment law that Vanessa will lay out for the participants. Given the factors described above; this understanding is critical, no matter what the size of the organization. The right grasp of employment laws and HR practices is essential if organizations have to become successful at their business. The Director of this seminar will simplify the complex nature and the huge number and variety of employment laws and the issues relating to them.

Participants will able to learn the ways of dealing with often muddling human resource situations and how to apply relevant employment laws correctly to avoid problems. A look at the cost of litigation will perhaps give some idea about the need for employers to remain compliant with the employment laws: Without lawyer fees, a lawsuit costs $165,000 on average. The cost of a case that goes to trial is exorbitant: It is in excess of a million dollars, and comes with the strong prospect of imprisonment for noncompliance with employment.
