Time off for a headache?  Intermittent leave for arthritis?  More so than ever, employees are requesting accommodations in the workplace for what arguably may be disabilities under the Americans With Disabilities Act.  This presentation will focus on what is and is not a disability under the ADA, comparing the ADA with the Family Medical Leave Act, and providing best practices and recommended policies to help handle the ADA’s required “interactive process” that employers must engage in when an employee requests an accommodation.  Professionals will also learn the dangers that can be caused  by failing to document the interactive process, and best practices to limit liability when things don’t go as planned. 

Agenda:

  • Summary of Current ADA laws
  • Comparing and Contrasting ADA and FMLA 
  • Understanding importance of interactive process
  • Effective use of interactive process and identifying best practices and policies
  • Hypothetical situations with examples
  • Question and Answer

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Sorry, not a testimonial. I could have learned the same information by simply reading the slides...as the presenter did.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I wanted more practical advise than straight legal statements which the presenter read from the PowerPoint. The Presenter was too sick to present. She coughed through the event to the extent that I was worried about her survival.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
This was one of the worse webinars I've ever attended. Besides coughing throughout the presentation, she read each slide word for word. She didn't provide any additional value by presenting the material. Also, the presentation was too broad. Could have streamlined to just managing HR records electronically.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Unfortunately, it was a very dry presentation. I could have gotten all the info from reading the slides. In addition, I feel bad that the presenter was ill, but the constant coughing was extremely distracting.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I felt sorry for Susan while she was coughing. I had a similar thing happen to me last week when I was on a webinar. While she felt bad for it, I don't think it distracted from the overall presentation. I would have liked a few more real examples thrown in - much of it was legal definitions/jargon straight out of a book somewhere. Real life experiences are always helpful.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
The presenter had coughed the whole session of the seminar. It was really hard to follow along. There was someone from the class who had asked if she could mute the presentation, so we would not hear her coughing. The presenter thought she was muting the call, but she was muting class from speaking instead. I don't think she had realized that at the time. So, we could still hear her cough. We would have recommended she might have rescheduled the meeting or get a proxy to conduct the training.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
It felt like she just read off of the presentation. Not many examples were given and all of the coughing was very distracting...
