Employment Law Deep Dives: The Top 10 Leave & Accommodation Issues Organizations Face (and How to Handle Them)
Monday, March 2nd • 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM ET
Ask any employment attorney or HR leader about leave and accommodation compliance and you’ll hear the familiar alphabet soup—FMLA, paid family leave programs, ADA, PWFA, and more. But in practice, the hardest part isn’t knowing the acronyms—it’s building a consistent, defensible process when real employee requests don’t fit neatly into one box, timelines overlap, and documentation is imperfect.
Join us on Monday, March 2, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT as Amanda Fugazy,Steven Nevolis, and Caitlin Breen of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole walk through the top 10 leave and accommodation issues they see most often—and how in-house legal teams can help organizations respond with clearer workflows, better documentation, and fewer escalations. This session is designed to be practical and discussion-oriented, grounded in common scenarios that routinely trigger compliance risk.
Key Takeaways:
How to navigate FMLA leave usage and common certification and recertification issues
A practical framework for evaluating accommodation requests and running an effective interactive process
Best practices for documentation and communications that support consistent decision-making
Common process breakdowns that create risk—and how to reduce them through repeatable internal controls
When and how to escalate complex situations involving overlapping leave and accommodation obligations
Who Should Attend:
This webinar is designed for in-house legal professionals who advise on employment matters or support HR partners on leave and accommodation decisions—especially those looking to reduce risk, improve consistency across managers and business units, and strengthen internal processes before issues escalate into complaints or claims.
