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?
The presenter did a great job covering the information. However, there was so much to present in 1.5 hours that (1) she had to continuously talk with little or not pauses (2) gave little time for me as the audience to process what she just mentioned. She knew what she was presenting...but did not give enough time for the audience to absorb the information before moving to the next slide.

"Add in additional real-life scenarios that HR professionals are faced with. A combo of ADA/PDA/WC, for example."

"I feel like she rushed through the information. She kept stumbling with her words. It was quite distracting when she kept taking drinks of whatever she was drinking. Don't know if she wasn't feeling well or what."

"It was disappointing to pay, attend, and then have the slides read to us as the presentation. Additionally, the presentation did not cover the NYC cooperative dialogue law which we had hoped would have been covered."

Excellent. This seminar focused on FMLA and it would be helpful to also have a presentation on CFRA
