Presented by Joseph Kaplan

According to the US Department of Labor, it is likely that most employers – including your agency – have at least one employee with a psychiatric disability. Along with your ADA obligation to provide reasonable accommodations, how do you effectively manage employees with these disabilities so their performance — and your agency’s — doesn’t suffer?

Attorney Joseph Kaplan will guide you through the process from start to finish. You’ll stay EEO compliant with his expert guidance to:

• Improve agency hiring and retention of individuals with these disabilities
• Initiate and carry out the reasonable accommodation process when the accommodation needed isn’t obvious
• Identify when a requested accommodation could be denied as an undue hardship
• Determine if it’s necessary to request medical information to address performance or conduct issues.
• Know when it’s ok to deny a requested accommodation
