Monday of the SPECIALTY PRACTICE AREAS
Week is the highly demanded 'New ADA:
What You Need to Know' first offered as a stand-alone,
one-day training, December 2008. Since the President signed the
bill into law on September 25, 2008, FELTG has been delivering this
essential training on-site to agencies interested in bringing their
staff up to speed. Join EEOC law and practice experts and renowned
authors, Gary Gilbert and Ernest Hadley, for this timely presentation.
Also NEW last fall and returning in

Other Retaliation Claims'.
Join us on Wednesday for the popular offering on 'Family and Medical Leave Act'
with FELTG guest speaker,
Carl Bosland, first introduced for the
fall, 2008 seminars.
The
'Labor Relations' seminar
was first offered as a sold-out, one-day program in the Fall,
2007with Peter Broida and William Wiley, and has returned to the
FELTG program agenda as an expanded, two-day offering! EARLY
registration is strongly recommended -- this seminar SOLD-OUT again in
Fall, 2008!

supported by FELTG through individual applications to the registrants'

Monday, April 13 -- The New
Americans with Disabilities Act: What You Need to Know.
First presented as a requested on-site training to agencies interested
in getting staff up to speed on the new legislation effective January 1,
2009 and offered as an open-enrollment seminar December in DC, Gary
Gilbert and Ernest Hadley are back with this timely addition to FELTG's

Tuesday, April 14 -- Whistleblowing and Other Retaliation Claims.
Broida, Gilbert and Wiley.
This session will provide an in-depth review
of the Whistleblower Protection Act, including protected disclosures,
recipients of protected disclosures, and the relationship between
protected disclosures and required job duties, as well as other types of
prohibited personnel practices involving reprisal.
The afternoon session
will focus on retaliation under Title VII and the other
anti-discrimination statutes, including a review of the Supreme Court’s
Burlington Northern decision and what
constitutes adverse treatment for purposes of an EEO reprisal claim.
Also covered will be reprisal for union
activity.
Wednesday,
April 15 -- Family and Medical Leave Act. FELTG Guest Speaker
Carl Bosland.
The latest addition
to the FELTG catalogue. Legal
and human resource professionals agree: the FMLA is one of the most difficult laws to
correctly administer. In fact, in most cases, federal employers
must comply with the requirements of two FMLA laws.
FMLA compliance is further complicated by the
interaction of the law with federal and agency leave policies,
collective bargaining agreements, workers’ compensation, HIPPA, and the
ADA. Legislative, regulatory, and case law developments over the
past 15 years have greatly impacted how the law is interpreted and
applied. This one-day workshop will provide you with detailed
information and in-depth understanding to ensure compliance with the
FMLA based on the latest federal court and MSPB decisions and
legislative developments. In addition to best practices, you’ll
get practical advice on the most difficult FMLA issues you face every
day.
Thursday, April 16-- Labor Relations,
Part I. Peter Broida and
William Wiley. Overview of
statutes and definitions, basic rights and procedures; negotiability of
union proposals, Weingarten rights, formal discussions, commonly
bargained-for rights.
Friday, April 17 -- Labor Relations, Part
II. Broida and
Wiley. Information requests, official time use and abuse, unfair
labor practices, investigations and remedies; grievances, appeals,
interface with EEOC and MSPB; arbitration overview.
Each day begins at 8:30 and ends at
4:00 with an hour for lunch. Continental breakfast is served beginning
at 8:00.
FELTG reserves the right to cancel a session, or make changes,
upon notice.
Early Registration is strongly advised as each seminar has
a maximum capacity. |

FELTG does not
seek pre-approval of its seminars for CLE credit because the attorneys who
attend often are admitted to many different state bars with many different
requirements for CLE credit. However, we are happy to work with any individual
attorney seeking CLE credit for attendance, and it has been our general
experience that many states will approve some number of CLE credit hours based
on submission of the course materials,
an agenda, and resumes of the speakers.
To
facilitate the award of CLE, FELTG takes roll at every seminar and maintains a
record of attendance for a minimum of five years, a requirement of
many state bar associations.
The bottom
line for CLE credit is that while the responsibility for applying for credit
lies with each attorney attendee, FELTG will work to assist in the application
process. Please consult your state CLE commission for an 'Individual CLE
Application' and let us know what submissions we can
supply in your support.
