FMLA, ADA, COBRA, and Workers' Compensation are difficult enough to administer independently, let alone when you must determine which rule or law takes precedence over another.
For example, take Rita, who is an employee suffering from a chronic condition that requires surgery and who plans to be out at least 12 weeks to recover from the surgery.
While this is an FMLA-qualifying event, employers need to know how Rita's health care is maintained during her FMLA leave, whether the employer can require her to run her paid vacation concurrently with her FMLA leave, whether Rita's condition is considered a disability under the ADA and, if yes, what are the employer's duties regarding reasonable accommodation (and how does the reasonable accommodation requirements coordinate with FMLA job and benefit protections)? Further, if Rita returns from work, must the employer allow Rita to return to her original or equivalent job?
If Rita does not return to work, is there a COBRA qualifying event and, if so, is it during or at the end of her 12 weeks of FMLA leave? Regarding HIPAA, is there a break in coverage affecting her pre-existing conditions if Rita loses her health care during her FMLA leave? And last, is the employer allowed to get any medical information regarding Rita's injury under the HIPAA Privacy rules?
What Are The Leave Management Requirements For Employers?Leave Management is fraught with peril for HR Administrators under numerous instances. For instance, when does COBRA apply when someone does not return from FMLA leave? Does ADA or FMLA law take precedence? Does a return from a Workers' Comp injury provide the need for a Reasonable Accommodation under the ADA?
