Author: Dena B. Calo, Esq. and William G. Nestor, III, Esq. Publication: Thompson's HR Compliance Expert Partner Dena B. Calo and Associate William G. Nestor, III have co-authored an article that appears in Thompson’s HR Compliance Expert: “Fighting Leave of Absence Abuse with Social Media.” The piece documents the explosion of social media usage in the modern workplace, and analyzes how human resource managers may leverage employees’ social media publications to fight leave of absence abuse.
