Disability Accommodation Workshop for Employers

Klinedinst employment attorney, Thomas Daugherty, will discuss how employers can best navigate the complex federal and California disability employment laws.
 
The disability accommodation process continues to perplex many well-meaning California employers. Notably, disability is the most commonly claimed basis for discrimination and retaliation complaints against employers through the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing. The presentation is designed to demystify the disability accommodation process and untangle issues related to FMLA, Paid Sick Leave, ADA, and FEHA.
 
Mr. Daugherty will also discuss how to exercise good judgment in evaluating accommodation requests, how to best engage in and document the interactive process with employees, whether a fitness for duty evaluation is appropriate, and what documentation can be required.  The presentation will offer practical guidance on affirmative steps to take, and common mistakes to avoid in the interactive process, reasonable accommodations, and potential terminations.  Employers will learn useful, preventative measures to help preclude costly litigation.
