Date & Time

Thursday, March 12, 2026

• 1:00–2:00 PM Eastern Time
• Live via Zoom

Who This Is For

• HR professionals
• Business owners
• Nonprofit leaders
• Anyone managing employees in New York

What We’ll Cover

Real scenarios New York employers face regularly, such as:

• An employee says, “I’m not asking for FMLA, I just need a few weeks.”
• Someone exhausts FMLA but still can’t return.
• An employee on PFL wants to work part-time.
• Attendance points conflict with medical leave.
• A vague doctor’s note: “Out indefinitely.”
• Mental health leave and ADA overlap.

What You’ll Walk Away With

• A simple framework for handling overlapping leave requests
• Red flags that trigger notice/interactive-process duties
• Attendance-policy fixes that reduce retaliation risk

Why This Matters

New York and federal leave laws are layered and interact in complex ways. Understandable mistakes lead to discrimination and retaliation claims. We’ll break down the FMLA, NY PFL, ADA, and NYS/NYC Human Rights Law issues and consider how they intersect.
