Why You Should Attend This Workshop
Would you like to know the American with Disability Act and the Family Medical Leave Act?
Do you feel you can master activities such as engaging in the Interactive Process, review, select and provide Reasonable Accommodations?
Can you say that you are complying with all the Family Leave Act’s obligations and responsibilities especially with constant and latest changes?
Do you want to have the peace of mind that you are protecting not just your organization but also yourself?
Recent Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Wage and Hour Division-U.S. Department of Labor’s lawsuits highlight the importance of adopting a comprehensive procedure for managing ADA and FMLA.
No, I am not saying that you need to go to Law School and get a Doctor of Juridical Science degree in Employment Law in order to survive the tsunami of litigations and astonishing well-publicized lawsuits and settlements we read about every week. All you need is to sharpen your skills and enrich your career by attending this 2 Day Certificate Program on FMLA & ADA. This is a thorough Certificate Program which will provide you with the tools and resources you need to maintain compliance with these two important laws and regulations and to serve as an internal consultant to minimize organizational risk. Always remember, it is better to deal with the issues “in-house”, rather than in the “Court-house”.
Seminar Fee Includes:
Free consulting service on questions related to the Certificate Program for 3 months starting the day of the seminar. The participant will be provided with an email address and they will get a response within 48 hours.
