Reliance Standard and United Benefit Advisors to Host Webinar on Managing Compliance

Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) April 01, 2016 -- Signed into law in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sought to prohibit discrimination based on disability by requiring employers to make “reasonable accommodations” to employees with disabilities. With the passing of 2009’s Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA), the scope and impact of the original Act was materially expanded: under the ADAAA provisions, fully 19 percent of working Americans may be classified as living with a disability.

United Benefit Advisors (UBA), in conjunction with Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company, are hosting a webinar for human resource professionals, called “Managing Compliance in 2016 – FMLA Evolution, ADAAA Compliance, and Legislative Trends,” on Thursday, April 14, 2016, from 2:00 p.m. ET to 3:30 pm ET, that looks at how key elements of the regulatory landscape will impact employers and change the scope of their exposure.

These include the recent Supreme Court decision altering the scope of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA); more than 135 federal, state and municipal leave laws; President Obama’s proposal to establish paid sick leave at the federal level; and proposals pending in 13 states for paid family leave. Of these, the ADAAA is currently the most significant as it broadened the definition of a disability and reinforced that leave is a qualified accommodation. This has made things very complicated for employers, since employees with health conditions who exhaust their leave under FMLA may now be entitled to extend their leave under the ADA/ADAAA.

“While FMLA sought to grant universal job protection that could be quantified, ADAAA has essentially superseded this and other legislation at the individual employee level,” says Cheryl Jez, a Regional Practice Leader for Reliance Standard. “The only means of successfully navigating today’s compliance environment is making sure a disciplined, interactive process takes place and, from there, appropriate decisions are made about accommodations. Expert guidance and perspective is key.”

Register for this complimentary webinar and enter discount code RSIUBA41416 to attend this webinar for free (a $50 value). This webinar has been submitted to the Human Resource Certification Institute to qualify for 1.5 recertification credit hours.
