SUMMARY:Get it Right the First Time: Accepting\, Dismissing\, and Framing EEO Claims
DESCRIPTION:A surprisingly large number of agency dismissals are overturned by the EEOC each year – and a remand years after the events in question can equal big problems when it comes to the investigation. This class covers all you need to know on when to accept\, when to dismiss\, and how to frame EEO claims. \nSometimes your agency has a responsibility to dismiss an EEO complaint. However\, you do so at your own risk. We will tackle the basis for dismissing claims\, review the legally protected categories\, and discuss how to spot and frame disparate impact\, hostile work environment\, and reasonable accommodation claims. We’ll also focus on reprisal\, timeliness principles\, and much more. And you’ll participate in an exercise to refresh what you’ve learned on the topic. \nLearning objectives\n\nIdentify claims that do not fall under the EEO process.\nAnalyze contractor EEO complaints.\nDraft legally sufficient acceptance and dismissal documents.\n\nEvent FAQs \nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement\, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions. And shorter classes can often be combined to build longer courses covering more topics. We’ll be happy to discuss the options that are most convenient to you. \nIn what format is this class held? \nThe class may be held onsite at an agency location\, or as a live virtual event. Virtual events are generally held using your agency’s platform (Zoom\, WebEx\, Teams\, etc.). In certain situations where FELTG hosts\, the event will be held on Zoom or Teams. \nCan I earn CLE credits for this class?\nCLE applications are the responsibility of each attendee; FELTG does not apply for the credits on behalf of attendees. If you are seeking CLE credit\, you may use the materials provided by FELTG in submission to your state bar. You may also request a certificate of completion which will contain the number of training hours attended.

SUMMARY:Writing Final Agency Decisions
DESCRIPTION:A Final Agency Decision is appealable\, by the complainant\, to the EEOC. And EEOC case law is filled with reversals of agency FADs that found no discrimination. This class will teach you how to write an effective and defensible FAD\, which requires thorough knowledge and understanding of discrimination law\, as it is uniquely applied to the Federal workplace. \nAttendees will learn all they need to know to write an effective FAD\, including identifying and avoiding the hazards that often lead to the EEOC reversals that plague so many agencies. And then after a discussion of timeliness issues\, we’ll dive into exercises including practice writing and deconstruction of an agency FAD. \nLearning objectives\n\nIdentify the statutory bases and theories of employment discrimination.\nEffectively compare and contrast in the “analysis” section.\nChoose words and phrases that make for a more effective and defensible FAD.\n\nEvent FAQs \nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement\, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions. And shorter classes can often be combined to build longer courses covering more topics. We’ll be happy to discuss the options that are most convenient to you. \nIn what format is this class held? \nThe class may be held onsite at an agency location\, or as a live virtual event.

SUMMARY:Managing Performance Issues that Intersect with Reasonable Accommodation
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s addressing an employee’s up-and-down roller coaster performance or addressing claims that a reasonable accommodation is ineffective and causing performance problems\, complex scenarios like these take up time\, create workplace stress\, and dampen productivity. \nIt’s important to address performance issues as soon as possible\, while keeping in mind the laws and regulations regarding workplace accommodations. This class shares the tools necessary to address performance issues within the framework of reasonable accommodation\, and addresses agency options when the employee can no longer perform essential functions because of a medical condition. \nLearning objectives \n\nUnderstand how the laws for performance management and reasonable accommodation are related.\nRevisit and adjust existing accommodations when necessary.\nDetermine when a medical inability to perform removal is appropriate.\n\nEvent FAQs\nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement\, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions.

SUMMARY:Responding Swiftly and Effectively to Inappropriate Sexual Conduct
DESCRIPTION:Sexual harassment is a term of art that while easy to allege\, isn’t always easy to prove. However\, just because something may not rise to the level of Title VII sexual harassment\, doesn’t mean it’s appropriate or that it should be tolerated in the workplace. \nThis class will explain how to respond to an employee who engages in inappropriate conduct\, whether or not a complaint of sexual harassment is filed. We will also discuss the foundational law on discipline\, share recent related case law\, and explain how agencies have been removing supervisors for decades over inappropriate language and conduct. \nSumming this class up in five words: Do not wait to discipline. \nLearning objectives \n\nAvoid the mistakes that derail conduct-based actions.\nRecognize and respond immediately to inappropriate conduct.\nDifferentiate between approaches for supervisor and co-worker misconduct.\n\nEvent FAQs\nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement\, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions. And shorter classes can often be combined to build longer courses covering more topics. We’ll be happy to discuss the options that are most convenient to you. \nIn what format is this class held? \nThe class may be held onsite at an agency location\, or as a live virtual event.
