Virtual workshop

Managing Leaves and Reasonable Accommodations

Managing employee leaves and accommodation requests can be challenging, especially when legal obligations are involved. This webinar will help managers recognize when HR should be involved, understand the interactive process, and confidently navigate leave requests, medical restrictions, and return-to-work situations while minimizing compliance risks.

Why this training

Most accommodation problems start with a conversation that seemed ordinary at the time. An employee mentions a restriction in passing, a manager offers a well-meant fix, and the interactive process is under way before anyone recognizes it as one. This session covers where those obligations actually begin, the point at which HR should be brought in, and how to document what was said so that a later dispute turns on the record rather than on memory.

Bring your questions. The session ends with open Q&A.
