With a complicated web of leave laws affecting employers, Barran Liebman attorneys regularly troubleshoot matters of leave administration, including considerations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), the Oregon Family Leave Act (“OFLA”), the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), Paid Sick Time, Oregon’s new Paid Family & Medical Leave (“PFML” or “Paid Leave Oregon”), and various other leave and accommodation laws.  Whether an employer is managing leave for an injured worker or offering disability leave as a reasonable accommodation, our team partners with employers to navigate intersecting regulations and ensure leave administration practices that are compliant with applicable law.

• Family and Medical Leave Act
