Course Description
With leave being the most commonly requested accommodation, the FMLA, and the current administration urging increased use of alternative work schedules and telework for federal employees, it’s important for you as a practitioner to know when these requests for accommodations are suitable. It’s also imperative to ensure that employees who are granted such accommodations continue to perform their jobs to satisfactory performance standards.
In the upcoming 90-minute webinar Alternative Work Schedules and Telework as Reasonable Accommodations for Federal Employees: What You Need to Know, FELTG experts and employment law attorneys Ernest Hadley and Gary Gilbert will teach you how to manage the process by explaining the details of each accommodation, from the basics through the problems that sometimes arise – and they’ll provide you with acceptable solutions. Hadley and Gilbert will also clarify when and how to:
• Determine essential job functions and whether a requested accommodation would undermine those tasks
• Monitor employees to ensure productivity and performance don’t suffer
• Apply alternative work schedules or telework for employees with intermittent needs for accommodations
• Discipline an employee who exploits or misuses these accommodations
• Apply relevant case law and administrative regulations in considering leave, modified and alternative work schedules, and telework as reasonable accommodations
