Relying on our employment and employee benefits experience, we guide clients through the maze of leave, accommodations, and absence management decisions.
UB Greensfelder takes an interdisciplinary approach to leave management. Our team includes attorneys with intimate knowledge of the FMLA, ADA, GINA, HIPAA, COBRA, ERISA, and state leave laws.
How We Help
We help clients satisfy their legal obligations while at the same time helping their employees remain a productive part of the workplace. Our team regularly provides the following legal services to our clients:
- Drafting attendance and leave policies
- Designing disability plans and programs
- Advising leave administrators when making difficult leave and accommodation decisions
- Developing manager compliance training programs on leave management, including such issues as ADA, FMLA, and state law compliance
- Training managers and leave administrators on state and federal compliance
- Developing manager toolkits to assist in administering leaves and enforcing attendance policies
Importantly, the very same attorneys who help you design your programs and provide compliance advice will defend you if you are faced with challenges to your programs, plans, or practices. We have extensive experience in litigation arising under such laws as the ADA, FMLA, ERISA, and state leave laws.
