In this episode, AGG Employment partners Henry Perlowski and Theresa Kananen tackle one of the most prevalent workplace challenges: managing employee performance issues when illness or disability is a factor.
While every situation is unique, Henry and Theresa outline legal principles and considerations to help employers balance performance management with compliance under the ADA, FMLA, and other laws. They share strategies for recognizing risks, avoiding retaliation claims, and developing a path forward when approaching these sensitive situations. Henry and Theresa also walk through three real-world scenarios to address practical considerations for employers facing similar issues.
