Why Should You Attend:

Employers could face liability under the Americans with Disabilities Act if they fail to make reasonable accommodations for employees or applicants with disabilities. Do you know how to determine whether an employee is entitled to an accommodation? Are you familiar with the interactive process to determine what change to your workplace or policies may be required? This webinar will help you understand your company’s obligations and how to navigate the process of determining reasonable accommodations.

The Americans with Disabilities Act as Amended requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities. Among many other things, accommodations could be changes to absenteeism policies, physical barriers, or various work procedures. In determining which accommodations to implement, employers have a number of factors to consider as they engage in the required interactive process. In this webinar, we will discuss the importance of thorough job descriptions, how to determine the essential functions of a job, what makes accommodations unreasonable, and when accommodations may constitute an undue burden. We will also cover logistics of responding to accommodation requests, including how quickly a company should respond and the importance of documenting all discussions.
