The intersection of workers’ compensation with leave of absence and job accommodation laws has become increasingly challenging. With the expanding number of federal, state and municipal laws on the books, there is also confusion about how and when they overlap.

Three of them agreed to explain and simplify this complex topic as guests on our most recent Out Front Ideas with Kimberly and Mark webinar:

  • Jennifer Holland, senior manager, Leave Strategies at American Airlines,
  • Bryon Bass, senior vice president, Workforce Absence Solutions at Sedgwick Claims Services, Inc., and
  • Jeff Nowak, an attorney and shareholder with Littler
