Attorney Meredith Sayre discusses how to trouble shoot leaves of absences
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) NMI Chapter is pleased to have Attorney Meredith Sayre, Of Counsel at Camacho Calvo Law Group, speak on the topic of how to trouble shoot leaves of absences: The Americans Disability Act (ADA), the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Workers’ Compensation at its March meeting on Wednesday, March 22, 2017. A law degree (J.D.) graduate from Gonzaga University School of Law, Meredith Sayre is a transactional attorney with a practice emphasis on labor and employment law in a broad range of industries including hotels, travel companies, tour operators, golf courses, retail, restaurants, and financial institutions. She is an Adjunct Professor in Human Resources Management and Managing the Employee and the Workplace at the University of Guam and is a guest lecturer in various courses. She is also a Past President of the Society of Human Resource Management, Guam Chapter.
Atty. Sayre will speak on “The Bermuda Triangle”, also known as the three headed monster, which refers to the interplay of the three major employment laws -- the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Workers’ Compensation Insurance. It is essential for all supervisors, in addition to the human resources staff, to understand the interplay of these laws to assure legal compliance as well as to provide employees with the benefits and protections each law provides. The presentation will provide an overview of each of the three laws, an explanation of the overlap and interplay of these laws, and a scenario which reinforces the need to understand how these laws work.
This lunch meeting will be held at the Pacific Islands Club (PIC) Charley’s Cabaret on Wednesday, March 22, 2017, from 11:30 am – 1:30 pm.
This presentation is open to the public and will be an invaluable opportunity for employers and HR professionals and staff to better understand the importance of handling leaves of absence requests properly. Atty. Sayre will provide an opportunity for questions.
The presentation includes the PIC lunch buffet at the cost of $20 for SHRM members and $30 for non-members. Seats are limited, so reserve your seat by contacting Denise Montenegro at email at denise.montenegro@hyatt.com or by telephone at 323-5867.
