ERISA's Interaction with the Bermuda Triangle – FMLA‚ Workers' Comp & the ADA

American Conference Institute's Compensation and Benefits Boot Camp

January 25, 2011

1:05 - 1:55 p.m.  EST

Diane M. Soubly

Diane M. Soubly, Of Counsel in Schiff Hardin's Labor and Employment and Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation groups, will speak at the American Conference Institute's Compensation and Benefits Boot Camp, to be held at the historic Union League in Philadelphia, Penn. on January 24-25, 2011.

Her presentation will cover the interstices between the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the ADA Amendments Act, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), addressing such issues as:

  • Can retaining grandfathered status under PPACA expose an employer to ADA or ADA AA claims?
  • What are an employer's obligations when the plan documents and the law define "disabled" differently?
  • What is ADA associational discrimination, and what are the employer's obligations to employee caretakers?
  • Can plan documents tailor benefits to particular subclasses of disabled persons or offer wellness benefits?
  • Should the disability plan or the worker's comp carrier pay certain claims?
  • What are employer's obligations to accommodate "favored work"?
