SUMMARY:Avoiding Mistakes in Selection and Promotion Cases
DESCRIPTION:Selection and promotion processes can be emotional\, especially for those who aren’t selected. If you’re a Federal EEO practitioner or supervisor\, chances are you’ve had a case where an employee alleges that they were not selected or promoted because of something other than job qualifications. \nNonselection cases present agency reps with major challenges\, from properly defining the claim to collecting the right information during the investigation\, and\, eventually\, to presenting evidence at the hearing or in a motion for summary judgment. \nLearning objectives\n\nEnsure that your selection criteria are valid and objective.\nExplain the importance of selection records.\nDefend your selection cases before the EEOC or an arbitrator.\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:Barking Up the Wrong Tree? Service and Emotional Support Animals in the Workspace
DESCRIPTION:Most of us know something about service animals\, but what about emotional support animals\, comfort animals\, and the like? Are they permitted in the workplace? The EEOC’s stance that an emotional support animal may be a required reasonable accommodation for a qualified individual with a disability\, even if it is not a trained service dog\, fails to provide an easy answer. \nThis presentation will provide guidance to help you make this challenging reasonable accommodation determination. \nLearning objectives\n\nDetermine the difference between a service animal and an emotional support animal.\nRecognize when an emotional support animal would be a reasonable accommodation.\nEffectively navigate the interactive process when requests for animals in the workplace arise.\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.

SUMMARY:Dealing with ‘Other’ Harassment: It’s Not Always About EEO
DESCRIPTION:Not everyone has the same definition of “harassment.” While most professionals recognize harassment that violates Title VII\, some employees consider it harassment when supervisors provide critical performance feedback or assign work. In between\, there are threatening\, intimidating\, and disturbing acts that are unrelated to protected classes\, but nonetheless may be non-EEO harassment and must be addressed as misconduct. \nThis program will identify the lines that separate different levels of harassment\, both perceived and real. It will also explain how and when to address harassment as misconduct. \nLearning objectives\n\nDifferentiate between non-EEO harassment\, EEO harassment\, and actions that don’t qualify as harassment.\nUse the appropriate disciplinary framework for handling harassment.\nRecognize agency obligations for addressing harassing employee behavior.\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:The Dos and Don’ts of Reasonable Accommodation for Pregnant Employees
DESCRIPTION:This training focuses on a law that went into effect in 2023: the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA)\, which requires agencies to provide reasonable accommodations to employees who have medical restrictions related to pregnancy\, childbirth\, and related medical conditions. \nThis training will answer the following questions: What are your responsibilities under the PWFA? What are some examples of PWFA reasonable accommodations? What is the best way to prepare for the interactive process when discussing accommodations for pregnancy-related restrictions? \nLearning objectives\n\nIdentify potential accommodations for pregnant employees.\nDetermine an appropriate length of time for a pregnancy-related accommodation.\nUnderstand how the EEOC will analyze charges regarding accommodations for employees affected by pregnancy\, childbirth\, or related medical conditions.\n\nEvent FAQs\nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes.

SUMMARY:The Reasonable Accommodation Mistakes Agencies Make
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever used undue hardship to deny an accommodation request or asked for more information from an employee’s doctor\, we have two words for you: Uh oh. \nOftentimes the best way to learn is by making mistakes. But not when it comes to reasonable accommodation law. This course provides the opportunity to learn from the costly and embarrassing blunders that other agencies have already made. \nLearning objectives\n\nIdentify the steps to take when an employee informs you of his or her disability.\nDetermine if telework or leave would be an effective accommodation.\nUnderstand why undue hardship is rarely a successful defense for denying an accommodation request.\n\nEvent FAQs\nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes.

SUMMARY:Revisiting Existing Reasonable Accommodations
DESCRIPTION:You’ve gone through the interactive process and come up with a reasonable accommodation that both you and the employee think will be effective. Are you done? Not even close. And what happens if a new supervisor comes in and wants to change a long-standing accommodation? \nOver time\, certain accommodations will still be effective – and some 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. It’s more important than ever for agencies to be aware of the benefits and drawbacks of revisiting existing accommodations. \nLearning objectives\n\nRestart the interactive process when necessary.\nMake an appropriate\, individualized reasonable accommodation determination.\nUnderstand when NOT to visit an existing accommodation.\n\nEvent FAQs\nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes.

SUMMARY:Accommodating Invisible Disabilities in the Federal Workplace
DESCRIPTION:From chronic pain and chronic fatigue to depression and diabetes\, disabilities are not always visible or obvious in the workplace.

SUMMARY:When Contractors File EEO Complaints: Questions and Answers for Federal Agencies
DESCRIPTION:If a contractor files an EEO complaint against your agency\, is your agency liable?

The arbitrator must decide whether discipline was appropriate\, and also assess whether the agency considered the relevant factors in determining the penalty. A discussion of how to use the Douglas factors will also be included\, as well as strategies at leveraging the role those factors play in the arbitration process. \nAttendees will also gain insight to the thought processes of the arbitrator\, plus an overview of the available appellate procedures and a discussion or similarities and differences between arbitration and MSPB and EEOC hearings. \nLearning objectives \n\nRecognize unique aspects to Federal sector arbitration.\nIdentify the best techniques for educating and persuading the arbitrator.\nExplain how the facts apply in the circumstances of a particular case\, and how to educate the arbitrator who may be unfamiliar with the Douglas framework in discipline cases.\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. \nIs this Training Compliant with the 2025 Executive Orders? \nAll FELTG classes are in compliance with the Trump administration’s Executive Orders.
