ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) for Human Resources Professionals: Beyond the Basics

TRAINING OVERVIEW

Interpreting and applying the ADA is one of the most challenging aspect of the job for HR professionals. This session will address some of the more challenging ADA scenarios such whether an employer can still challenge whether an employee is disabled, employee opioid use, accommodation for emotional support animals, multiple extensions of leave, the extent of reasonable accommodations, establishing undue hardship, and the documentation necessary to defend an ADA claim.  This session will conclude by exploring recent judicial decisions that are shaping the ADA landscape.

Note: This program requires that attendees have a working knowledge of critical ADA terms such as Disability, qualified individual with a disability, essential functions, reasonable accommodation, direct threat, and undue hardship.
