Managing leaves can be complex, especially when multiple leave laws may apply to a situation.You have an employee that twists her ankle on the job:
Your employee has worked for you for two years as a server. She has worked a total of 1,485 hours in the last year. You have 35 employees at one location and 25 miles away you have 40 employees at another location. She is pregnant and is planning to take time off to bond with her baby. She just slipped in the kitchen and twisted her ankle. She needs to be off of her feet for 6 weeks for her ankle to heal.
How do you handle this time off?
Family Medical Leave Act – She has a serious medical condition that prevents her from working.
State Pregnancy Disability Leave – She’s pregnant and disabled so this leave must apply.
Workers’ Compensation Leave – She was hurt on the job, so it has to be designated as workers’ comp.
Americans with Disabilities Act – Since she is disabled, she would have protections under this law.
Do your managers know what to say when asked about disabled employees or employees who are the subject of a workplace investigation? Knowing what to say, and what not to say, can be the difference of whether or not your organization is sued. This month’s manager training serves as a reminder to your managers on their responsibility to maintain certain confidences.
