Employment Disability and Medical Leave Law

Learn about disability law as it applies to California employers. This course focuses on the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), including the unique forms of disability discrimination and the issues of reasonable accommodation, confidentiality, and accessibility. It also covers the overlap of the ADA and FEHA with the leave laws: the Family Medical Leave Act, California Family Rights Act, and California's Pregnancy Disability Leave and Workers' Compensation, commonly referred to as the Bermuda Triangle. Issues will be explored through lecture and case studies, and preventative strategies will be presented. Approved for six HRCI recertification hours.
