Managing Employee Attendance:
Minimizing Absences for FMLA, ADA and Religious Reasons

Presenters: James B. Sherman, Esq. and Phoebe A. Taurick, Esq.

Excessive employee absenteeism can cripple a business' operations. Employers must balance needs of running their business with the rights of employees to be absent for legally protected reasons. This webinar will provide business owners, managers, human resources and other professionals who advise employers, with proven methods to help minimize absences and prevent abuses by disingenuous employees. This webinar is designed to be of particular value to employers to help deal with the following common problems:

Cracking down on suspicious uses of FMLA leave;
Limiting overly disruptive intermittent or reduced schedule leave;
How to deal with repetitive medical extensions that turn short term leaves into long term absences;
When and how to say "no" to leave or work from home arrangements sought as an accommodation for disabilities;
When and how to say "no" to leave sought for religious purposes.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This webinar is of course excellent for human resource professionals, attorneys and accountants alike, but also highly recommended to train managers and front line supervisors on how to manage employee attendance issues. Recruiters and anyone else involved in any aspect of hiring or onboarding would also benefit greatly from this training.

Check and credit card options available.
