Navigating discipline and terminations can be difficult, particularly when addressing employees who are protected under federal or state laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Understanding the legal requirements and best practices for handling terminations is essential for creating a fair and respectful process that minimizes legal risk for your organization.

In this session, we’ll explore best practices for identifying and documenting performance issues for employees on protected leave or those with reasonable accommodations. Discussion will focus on how to balance employee rights with the needs of the business and balancing the legal risks of terminations in these circumstances.
