Description:

Disability Discrimination And The Interactive Process

Under the ADA, an employer's failure to manage the interactive process can lead to disability discrimination claims.

The Act is increasingly complex, and it has made it difficult for employers to manage this area. For example, managers are constantly struggling with trying to manage good performance with employees who are challenged with physical and mental limitations.

Making it more difficult are federal mandates that require employers to make efforts to accommodate employees' disabilities - but how far must an employer go without compromising quality of performance?

In this informative audio conference, you will learn how to manage these competing interests and learn a step-by-step approach to responding to employees' requests for work place accommodations without compromising work standards.

Learning Objectives:

  • The definition of a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act
  • When is a condition not a disability
  • What to do when the employee does not mention she or he has a disability even though you see clear performance problems related to physical and/or mental limitations
  • How to approach an employee with a suspected disability without being accused of harassment or risk being sued for disability discrimination
  • What to do when you want to discipline and employee who mentions that the work problems are related to a disability
  • How to conduct an interactive meeting with the employee without giving in to the employee's demands
  • How to comply with the law's requirements in accommodating an employee
  • When can you stop an accommodation

Cannot Attend The Live Presentation?

This presentation is also available in a recorded format, in On-Demand version, as shown in the pricing options below.

About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts:

Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.

The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!

And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.

Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions.
