Human Resource & Payroll
More than ever, now, and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic it is vital that employers understand their obligations under the ADA to provide reasonable accommodations to any employee that might have a disability. A disability can be a physical condition or a mental impairment.
But it’s not just the ADA. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) and the Pregnant Workers’ Fairness Act (PWFA) also require reasonable accommodations.
The EEOC says that whenever an employer receives a request for a reasonable accommodation it has to “engage in the interactive process”. What is the interactive process, though? Can an employer always know that an employee has requested an accommodation? Might an employer have to engage in the interactive process when the employee has not explicitly requested an accommodation? The ADA, the PDA and now the PWFA and the interactive process are often poorly understood fraught with pitfalls. In this webinar will explore the interactive process and de-mystify these and other key concepts.
· How to Definition of Disability under the ADA
· Determining Who is Entitled to an Accommodation
· Addressing performance or conduct issues with an employee suspected of having a disability;
· The PDA and PWFA and their accommodation requirements;
· Differences and similarities between ADA, PDA and PWFA requirements
· What to do when you want to discipline and employee who mentions that the work problems are related to a disability or pregnancy.
· How to Engage in the Interactive Process and When to Initiate the Initial Discussion
· The Effect of COVID-19 on the Accommodation Process
· How to conduct an interactive meeting with the employee without giving in to the employee's demands
· When can you stop an accommodation
Most employers know that the ADA/ADAAA prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities. Many employers are aware that the ADA requires them to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities.
Many employers understand that pregnant workers are entitled to some accommodations but don’t necessarily know the extent of their obligations.
What does all this really mean? Who is a disabled individual? What is a reasonable accommodation for a disability? When is a pregnant worker entitled to an accommodation – and what kind of accommodation? How does an employer go about providing accommodations? What is the interactive process and how does it relate to these questions. We will address those and many other questions in this webinar.
