BN3 | Surviving the Wild Side of FMLA and ADA (Room Juniper 1)

If an employee on approved FMLA leave ends up in jail, is his or her incarceration job-protected? Is an employee entitled to FMLA leave because his or her dog died? And once FMLA leave is exhausted, do you have to provide several more months of leave under the ADA? If you’re like most employers, the requests you receive from employees are probably getting wackier and weirder by the day. Attorneys Francis Alvarez and Janet Lee invite you to bring experiences and questions of your own as they discuss some of the bizarre and mainstream disability and leave-related issues they’ve encountered in their work.
