Every HR Professional’s Nightmare: Handling Difficult Leave and Accommodation Scenarios under the FMLA, PFMLA, ADA and in light of the COVID pandemic

Presented by Bob Kilroy

During this presentation, employment litigation partner, Bob Kilroy of Mirick, O’Connell, DeMallie and Lougee, LLP will bring clarity to the confusion that often exists as a result of overlapping and/or conflicting statutory leave requirements under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act, the Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave Act, Massachusetts Earned Sick Time Law, leave as a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and leave under employer-provided short or long-term disability policies. In addition to providing an overview of basic concepts and comparing and contrasting the various types of leave and their application in the workplace, Bob will discuss a variety of common, yet difficult, leave scenarios that will prove useful to HR professionals as they attempt to navigate this complex arena of employment law. As a necessary component of this discussion, Bob will delve into a number of specific leave and/or other accommodation scenarios that have arisen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the advent of numerous requests to continue working remotely.
