About This Course
The ADA is one of the most complicated and legalistic employment laws out there. This CLE will ensure that employers better understand the legal compliance obligations under the ADA including engaging in the interactive process when an employee has requested a reasonable accommodation. Making sure you get the interactive process correct is tricky for employers.
What questions can you ask and what medical documentation can you request. How do you even know if an employee meets the definition of having a disability under the ADA? Is there more than one definition of disability under the ADA. What are some of the many reasonable accommodations that an employer has to provide?
