Does the idea of an employee consistently working 40 hours a week performing the actual job for which he or she was hired seem like fact or fiction these days? Work is hard, job tasks are complicated, and getting work done with absent employees seems nearly impossible at times, and just when you think you can’t take any more, another employee presents a doctor’s note restricting him/her from duty or notifying you he/she will be out of work longer than expected. What can and should you say to the employee and other team members? Is there a limit to the accommodations you have to make, and how far do you really have to go before you can say enough is enough? If you feel like you are drowning in the ADA interactive process legal requirements, you are not alone. Join us for this interactive and informative program as we learn to navigate the ADA interactive process and the workplace waves it creates.

Learning Objectives Include:
1. Explore employee perceptions of special treatment or benefits for disabled workers;
2. Understand how disability law actually creates equal employment opportunities for all workers;
3. Define the employer and employee obligations to engage in the interactive process;
4. Learn when the interactive process is triggered and how to respond; and
5. Evaluate accommodation options and opportunities.
