AUGUST 5 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:

1.  "Managing the Interactive Process, Reasonable Accommodation and   California Leave Laws "  Presented by Ann Kotlarski 

Every day, human resource professionals are responsible for navigating the detailed and confusing California leave laws that impact their business operations.  The leave of absence process is particularly complex in California because of the significant and unique responsibilities imposed by state law.  Our seminar will address how to comply with various of the dozens of leave laws with an emphasis on our state's disability leave laws, the interactive process and reasonable accommodation.  The program will provide practical pointers for dealing with a variety of leave scenarios which affect every business regardless of size.  

Ms. Kotlarski is a partner in Seyfarth Shaw’s Los Angeles office.  She has 25 years of experience in employment matters and has defended a wide variety of employment discrimination and wrongful termination cases. She has tried a number of cases to verdict, including claims for sexual harassment, disability discrimination and wrongful termination.  Additionally, Ms. Kotlarski has represented employers in alternative dispute resolution procedures including mediation and arbitration.  She also counsels management concerning the full range of employment issues such as implementing appropriate employer policies and practices and conducting workplace investigations as well as disciplining and terminating employees.
