“Work at Home/Altered Work Schedules as an Accommodation” Teleconference
Speakers: Robin Jones, Director, DBTAC-Great Lakes ADA Center,and Sharon Rennert, Senior Attorney Advisor, Americans With Disabilities Act Division, EEOC
The ADA and reasonable accommodation: does it include work at home or an obligation to provide an altered work schedule? This session will discuss these concepts as they apply to reasonable accommodation and explore what the courts are saying and how the EEOC guidance in this area is useful in determining whether or not it is “reasonable” for your organization.
