Program also titled as " An Overview of the ADA and FMLA"
Compliance, Administration, & Recent Developments
Survey results suggest that FMLA and ADA compliance has been increasingly challenging and even burdensome for many employers. The focus of this class is not only on understanding the basic compliance requirements of the FMLA, as amended by the 2010 National Defense Authorization Act, and the ADA, as amended by the ADA Amendments Act, but on administering these laws in the real world, coordinating them with other laws and benefits, and staying current on recent developments.

- Who need an introduction to these laws;
- Who want an ADA/FMLA refresher course, given the major statutory and regulatory changes over the last 2-3 years; and/or
- Who want to audit their organization's practices to ensure compliance and reduce potential liability
