This presentation provides an overview of the applicable state and federal family and medical leave laws as they apply to employees, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and how to request leave or an ADA reasonable accommodation.  We will discuss employees’ rights and responsibilities as they apply to medical or family leave and work through a few case studies to provide context.  Additionally, we will provide updates regarding the new laws that are now in effect.  After the general presentation for all staff has concluded we will have a 15-minute presentation, specifically for supervisors to address how to handle leave requests, how to recognize an employee may need leave (or other accommodation) for a health condition, what to and what not to ask, and suggestions on job restoration when the employee returns to work.  Please bring any general questions you may have on these topics.

This live presentation will be held at the County Administration Building Conference Room C and is also being offered in a hybrid format via Zoom.
