Public employees have no shortage of leave available to them. Employers need to be able to effectively evaluate employee leave requests and understand the relationship between different types of leave. This session will examine employer rights and obligations when employees request Family and Medical Leave Act leave, unpaid leaves of absence, COVID-19 related leave, and more. Participants will be able to evaluate employee eligibility for leave, identify employer obligations related to the leave, and understand the impact of granting or denying leave. The presentation also will provide practical considerations for negotiating leave provisions and reducing employee absenteeism.
