  • Title: How to work with FMLA and ADA when granting leave.
    Author: Collins CJ, Neuman AB.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1998 Oct 16; 13(19):8-9. PubMed ID: 11365955.
    Abstract:
    There is much confusion among employers on how to interpret rights and responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). In many cases, the guidelines seem contradictory. Labor attorney Christopher J. Collins says that the ADA is basically a civil rights act, designed to protect the disabled from discrimination, while FMLA is a labor standards and leave law. Commonly-asked questions are answered, including the amount of leave an employee is entitled to, the amount of information that can be requested from an employee, and the options for dealing with employees who cannot perform assigned tasks.
