Because of the complex nature of leaves, leaves administration, disabilities and reasonable accommodation at the federal and state level, the material is divided into 2 courses.  HR 106 reviews the aspects of 4 major leaves – Family Medical Leave Act, California Family Rights Act, California Pregnancy Leave, and Workers Compensation Leave.  Understanding which leave of absence applies to your organization is a critical compliance requirement.  Learn about events that could trigger a leave, which employees may be entitled to a leave, the parameters of a leave, and the obligations of the employer and employee. We will discuss various return-to-work scenarios and focus on best practice recommendations.  This course was updated in July 2024.

Duration:  80 minutes

As a side note, HR212 course is a companion course to HR106 and HR107.  HR212 is a review and discussion of leaves of absence forms including those used for job-protected leaves such as the federal Family Medical Leave Act, California Family Rights Act and Pregnancy Disability which are part of the leave administration process, as well as forms used to document the reasonable accommodation interactive dialogue process.  We recommend attendees of our HR106 and 107 courses also complete our HR212 course regarding these leaves and accommodation forms.
