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. 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 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. In this class, you’ll learn how to:

  • Go about ensuring you find the right accommodation.
  • Build the re-evaluation of an employee’s accommodation into a regular seamless process.
  • Recognize situations when an existing accommodation shouldn’t change.

This program meets the President’s mandate to provide training on diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in the Federal workplace.

Webinar – Do I Have to Approve this Reasonable Accommodation Request for Telework?

Instructor

Ricky Rowe

Course Description

 1

Before the pandemic, telework was one of the the most commonly requested accommodations for individuals with physical and mental disabilities.

After the success of pandemic-induced remote work, agencies are receiving more reasonable accommodation requests for telework, especially as employees are directed to return to the physical workplace. If someone has successfully teleworked already and is a qualified individual with a disability, must you grant the requested accommodation?

Join us for a discussion on this timely topic during the fourth event in our Reasonable Accommodation in the Federal Workplace in 2023 webinar series. This course will detail the required three-step process for agencies to be compliant when dealing with reasonable accommodation requests.

From there, we’ll cover: What to do if telework would be an effective accommodation – but something else would work too.

  • Who gets to choose the accommodation?
  • What the EEOC says about accommodating an employee’s commute.
  • When an agency can legally deny telework as an accommodation.

Often times the best way to learn is by looking at real-life case studies, so the session will include a discussion on recent federal cases – won and lost – involving telework requests as reasonable accommodation. Because of the cost incurred when handling a reasonable accommodation complaint, your agency EEO staff, reasonable accommodation coordinators, disability coordinators, HR staff and supervisors truly cannot afford to miss this event.

This program meets the President’s mandate to provide training on diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in the Federal workplace.

Bob Woods

Course Description

Almost everyone knows that individuals with disabilities are entitled to reasonable accommodation – but did you know that federal employees are also entitled to reasonable accommodation for religious beliefs and practices? And that the law is different? And that the Supreme Court has recently weighed in on this subject?

It’s important you know the distinctions and understand the legal ramifications. Join FELTG for the final session in our five-part Reasonable Accommodation in the Federal Workplace in 2023 webinar series.

After a review of the relevant law and regulations law that pertain to religious accommodation, FELTG Instructor Bob Woods will discuss:

  • What religions qualify for accommodation.
  • The definition of “undue hardship” and case examples.
  • The most common accommodations for religion.
  • Issues related to dress code and grooming.
  • What to do when employees request to be excused from performing certain job tasks because of religious reasons.

Whether you’re an attorney, EEO program specialist, HR specialist or manager, you’ll find everything you need to know about religious accommodations, including the impact of new Supreme Court decision, in this webinar.

Course Description

The second session in FELTG’s annual Reasonable Accommodation webinar series builds on the first and focuses on the step that is critically important yet seemingly indescribable for many Federal supervisors, HR and EEO specialists, and program managers – the “interactive process.”

Reasonable accommodations should generally be determined after a discussion between the employee and the agency, through what is called “the interactive process.” This 60-minute webinar will tackle what you need to know about this process, when working with employees to determine a reasonable accommodation.

Deborah J. Hopkins

Course Description

The third session in FELTG’s annual Reasonable Accommodation webinar series focuses on one of the most commonly requested accommodations for individuals with physical and mental disabilities – telework. It turns out telework may also be one of the most effective accommodations, but it’s not for everybody.

This 60-minute webinar will dive into a discussion on recent and relevant Federal cases – won and lost – involving telework requests as reasonable accommodation. This course will explain the circumstances and that make telework “unique” among reasonable accommodation requests and prepare you to do the appropriate interactive discussion and analysis.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Recognize when an agency can legally deny telework as an accommodation.
  • Determine what to do if telework would be an effective accommodation, but something else would work, too.
  • Identify what the EEOC says about accommodating an employee’s commute.

Course Description

FELTG’s annual Reasonable Accommodation webinar series comes to a close with this 60-minute session on accommodations of the religious variety. There are significant distinctions between religious accommodations and those for individuals with disabilities and pregnancy. It’s important for you to understand those differences. A recent Supreme Court decision changed the undue hardship standard for religious accommodations, on the heels of increases in employee requests for accommodations for religion.

This 60-minute webinar will provide guidance as you handle accommodation requests involving religious clothing and headwear, grooming, religious displays in the workplace, and work schedules, among other things.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Define the term “undue hardship” and provide case examples.
  • Determine whether the agency can provide an effective religious accommodation.
  • Handle requests to be excused from performing certain job tasks because of religious
    reasons.
