Instructor: Roy Matheson

Approved by HRCI & SHRM

Online course consists of 3, 2-hour video streaming sessions. Roy Matheson will be presenting the information live through online video streaming. Plan to attend all three sessions. There will be approximately 1 hour of additional time required to complete materials.

This is an intermediate-level learning experience for those who seek an in-depth knowledge of the “how and why” of the reasonable accommodation provisions of ADA Title I. The tools and techniques taught in this online workshop will ease management of often difficult requests for reasonable accommodation. This practical event includes “best practice” interviews with seasoned guest commentators.

The learning objectives of this online, live 6-hour, workshop are:

  • Understand the rules of ADA Title I as they relate to job accommodation

  • Simplify the structure and flow of your reasonable accommodation program

  • Use the Interactive Process to navigate even the most difficult requests for accommodation

  • Understand the interaction between medical restrictions, essential functions, and reasonable accommodation

  • Document your reasonable accommodation process so you can confidently respond to an EEOC investigation

The focus of this interactive event includes:
The foundation

Who qualifies for reasonable accommodation?
Essential function v. marginal function
Undue hardship
Qualified individual
Direct threat
Performance and conduct standards
Medical documentation request

The interactive process
Establishing the flow of your accommodation program
Forms and letters used in the process
Documenting the reasonable accommodation process
Who takes the request: front line supervisors, ADA Coordinator or human resource staff
What comprises retaliation for an accommodation request?

Responses to the range of diagnosis and disabilities
Online and in-person applications
Unpaid leave as an accommodation
Shift and schedule changes as an accommodation
Responding to hidden disabilities
Transfer to an open position – the accommodation of last resort
Accommodating tenured knowledge workers
Employer sponsored social activities
Your aging workforce

A unique feature of this course will be the option to use the Reasonable Accommodation Management Software (RAMS) to receive, document, make decisions and manage an “interesting” request for accommodation.
