ADA Reasonable Accommodation Requirements: Complying with the Law
On-Demand Recording
You may already know that Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires employers to provide reasonable accommodation to qualified individuals with disabilities - unless to do so would cause undue hardship. But, how up to speed are you and your managers on the current law, equipped to identify a qualified employee, and how to handle employee accommodation requests?
Many webinars just explain the nature of accommodations required under the ADA. Here's a problem - they are "light" on how to actually address those accommodations as a matter of policy and ongoing practice. This "how-to" rich 60-minute webinar focuses on how you can meet your obligations under the accommodations portion of the ADA while protecting your organization from "undue hardship." Join us to address:
- Understanding the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) and what constitutes a disability
- What you should & shouldn't say when addressing issues of disability
- What constitutes as "undue hardship" for an organization
- Keys to determining if an employee has a qualified disability
- Balancing providing reasonable accommodations with managing the business
