Esler, Chase
and the Practical Implications of these Recent Decisions
Two important Family and Medical Leave Act cases were decided in
2016, Esler v. Sylvia-Reardon at the Supreme Judicial Court and Chase v. United
States Postal Service from the First Circuit. Lawyers representing
employers and/or employees will want to know what these cases say and what they
say about how we should be advising our clients. Topics will include best
practices for requesting leaves, administering leaves and returns from
leave. We will also discuss under what circumstances a request for a leave
extension may become a reasonable accommodation request, and how such requests
should be made and managed.
