Whether you’re relatively new to HR or a seasoned professional, it’s important to stay in-the-know about the latest changes to the ADA. This webinar will provide a comprehensive review of recent updates to the law and court decisions related to accommodations to ensure that your organization is complying with its obligations under the law.
Topics will include:
o What qualifies as a reasonable accommodation…and what does not?
o Limits to the employer’s duty to accommodate
o Your organization’s rights: when you can refuse the accommodation
A well written job description can play an essential role in defending against charges that someone with a disability was unlawfully denied employment or was unlawfully refused an accommodation. A job description outlining essential and non-essential job functions is the first step in identifying an employer’s ADA obligations to an individual employee. We’ll review the importance of effective and ADA compliant job descriptions and will provide insight on current trends in workplace accommodation.
