SUMMARY:Telework as a Reasonable Accommodation in 2025: Handling Return to In-Person Work Exemption Requests - February 25\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:President Trump’s inauguration day Memorandum to agencies was clear: Agency leaders must “require employees to return to work in-person.” In a follow-up memo\, the Office of Personnel Management noted that agency supervisors could excuse employees “due to a disability\, qualifying medical condition\, or other compelling reasons.” \nTelework is already the most commonly requested reasonable accommodation\, and you can expect an increase in those requests as you wrap up your return-to-work plan. What are the exemptions to the in-person requirement? How do you determine if telework is an appropriate reasonable accommodation? What if there is another accommodation that would also be effective? This training will answer all of those questions and more. \nLearning objectives \n\nIdentify the lawful exemptions to the return-to-work order.\nDetermine if telework is an effective reasonable accommodation.\nRecognize when an agency can legally deny telework as an accommodation.\n\nTraining time\n1:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET \nPricing\nStandard (register January 28 – February 25\, 2025): $250.00 \nEvent FAQs\nCan I attend this class using my government computer?\nThis event will be held on Zoom.
