Webinar Series – Absence Due to Illness: Understanding Sick Leave, Part 2

Apr 27 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm

Instructor

Course Description

Absence due to illness has changed the landscape in dealing with federal workplace issues. Problems arise when employees are absent – let alone the huge amounts of leave entitlements tied to family member medical conditions.

Administering sick leave can be complicated, and proper documentation is critical. The Family & Medical Leave Act adds an additional layer of complexity to these illness-related absences. When can you require medical examinations? When can you take action on excessive absences?

If you need more information on absence related to illness so you are able to answer those tough questions on sick leave and FMLA – or if you want to ensure that the adverse action case you assemble will withstand the scrutiny of the MSPB – then this webinar series is custom-made for you.

Webinar – Revisiting Existing Reasonable Accommodations

Apr 13 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Program Description

One of the most important, yet often forgotten, parts of the reasonable accommodation process is the follow up, or what FELTG calls the “check in.” Sometimes, accommodations are no longer effective, no longer needed – or, perhaps, a more effective accommodation has become available. It’s more important than ever for agencies to be aware of the benefits and pitfalls of revisiting existing accommodations.

And as employees start returning to the physical workplace, some after more than three years of remote work, now may be the time to re-evaluate the effectiveness of employees’ reasonable accommodations. FELTG Instructor Katherine Atkinson, Attorney at Law, will explain why this is important, how to go about ensuring you find the right accommodation, and how to build the re-evaluation of an employee’s accommodation into a regular seamless process. She’ll also discuss scenarios where agencies shouldn’t change an existing accommodation.

Learning takeaways

Attendees will learn how to:

Restart the interactive process when necessary.
Make an appropriate, individualized reasonable accommodation determination.
Determine if telework is an effective accommodation.

Thursday, April 13, 2023, 1:00 – 2:00pm ET.

Virtual Training Event – Up to the Minute: The Latest Changes to Reasonable Accommodation for Pregnancy, Disability, and Religion

Nov 7 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Course Description

It’s critical to stay updated on the always-evolving issue of accommodation, whether you’re a supervisor/manager, an HR professional, or an EEO specialist. And if you think reasonable
accommodation has been evolving a little more quickly than usual, well, you are correct.

In just the last couple of months:

The Supreme Court upended decades of precedent regarding the undue hardship standard for religious accommodation.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission started accepting charges under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA).
The EEOC continues to process numerous claims regarding reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities.

Join Attorney and FELTG Instructor Katherine Atkinson for this two-hour review of all things new in the world of accommodation. She’ll cover the latest developments bulleted above and share detailed guidance for providing effective reasonable accommodations for disability, pregnancy, or religious reasons.

Attendees will learn how to:

Recognize agency responsibilities under the PFWA.
Define undue hardship and explain how it applies to current religious accommodation requests.
Effectively conduct the interactive process – and identify when it’s required.
Determine whether (or not) to ask for more medical documentation.

Fail to stay up to date on accommodation and you could easily find yourself on the wrong side of a complaint. Join us!

Webinar – Red Light, Green Light: Revisiting Existing Reasonable Accommodations

Mar 14 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Course Description

Congratulations, you’ve gone through the interactive process and come up with a reasonable accommodation that both you and the employee think will be effective.

But wait. It’s not over yet.

Over time, accommodations may lose their effectiveness. They may no longer be needed. The nature of the work might change. Or, perhaps, a more effective accommodation has become available. One of the most important, yet often forgotten, parts of the reasonable accommodation process is the follow up, or what FELTG calls the “check-in.” It’s more important than ever for agencies to be aware of the benefits and pitfalls of revisiting existing accommodations.

And as employees have begun returning to the physical workplace at least a few days a month, now may be the time to re-evaluate the effectiveness of employees’ reasonable accommodations.

Learning takeaways

Attendees will learn how to:

Restart the interactive process when necessary
Make an appropriate, individualized reasonable accommodation determination
Determine if telework is an effective accommodation
