Managing HR as one person can pose special problems as you try to assess complex HR basics, as well as detailed issues such as ADA/ADAAA leave and accommodation.  Streamlining can be critical and in this interactive session participants will be able to assess process as well as legal issues.

Have you ever wondered how it feels to testify at trial in an employment case, under less-than-friendly cross-examination from a former employee’s attorney? This session will give you a peek at it. The testimony will cover FMLA claims. In the interactive debrief following the role play, we’ll discuss what the HR professional could have done better when testifying, what she could have done better when handling the events that led up to the litigation, and how the litigation might have been avoided altogether.

2:00- Work Injury Management (Dr. Charles Mooney, Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics)
