Show Notes

There are always a lot of intricacies to consider in the HR world. What can make that even more challenging to navigate is having to read between the lines and know how to protect the business from there. In today's episode, Chuck and John dive into how to determine if someone is eligible for FMLA and when ADA accommodations may need to be considered when FMLA isn't applicable.

Also discussed in the episode: how to deal with those frequently asked questions, an update to ADA requirements for hard of hearing disabilities, and navigating questions around service animals.
