Consistently updated to reflect the most current, relevant topics related to employees who aren’t at work, this week brings together everything involving one of the most complex areas of federal sector employment law: absences from the workplace. Topics include employee leave, leave abuse, and medical issues as they relate to unacceptable performance and conduct, sick leave, annual leave, leave without pay, absence without leave, FMLA, ADA, OWCP, and telework.

The program runs 8:30 – 4:00 each day.

Instructors

William Wiley, Deborah Hopkins, Barbara Haga, Rock Rockenbach.

Daily Agenda:
