Overview

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. The EEOC says that whenever an employer receives a request for a reasonable accommodation it has to β€œengage 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 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.
