SUMMARY:Advanced Reasonable Accommodation: Granting and Denying Telework in 2026 - May 5\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:So far\, 2026 is a year of continued changes in the Federal workforce\, and one of the hottest topics just got an overhaul: Telework as Reasonable Accommodation. \nOn February 11\, 2026\, the EEOC and OPM issued guidance\, Frequently Asked Questions from the Federal Sector about Telework Accommodations for Disabilities\, and while some of the questions and answers are solidly in line with the past several decades of policy and practice\, there are a few notable changes. \nJoin FELTG for an in-depth discussion about how these changes fit within the context of existing law\, regulation\, and case precedent. Plus\, learn which areas of change may be ripe for legal challenges. This is one hour you can’t afford to miss. \nLearning objectives \n\nIdentify scenarios where agencies can legally deny telework as an accommodation.\nDetermine whether an agency has the right to require updated medical documentation from a person on telework as RA.\nRecognize the dos and don’ts when considering changing an existing telework accommodation to something else.\n\nNote: this is an advanced class that assumes a basic understanding of the disability accommodation process. If you are in need of that foundation\, we recommend you review the session Understanding Disability Accommodation before taking this class. \nTraining time\n1:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET \nPricing\nStandard: $255 \nEvent FAQs\nCan I attend this class using a government computer?\nThis event will be held on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Implementing Legally Defensible Last Chance Agreements - May 28\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Who doesn’t love a redemption story? A real-life inspirational tale of an individual turning their life around gives us hope in our fellow humans. We like to believe in the best of people. It’s why we’re so willing to give people “one more chance.” \nUntil they let us down a second time. \nIn the world of Federal employment law\, one of the most popular alternatives to discipline gives the employee a chance to create a redemption story of their own: the last chance agreement (LCA). When utilized properly an LCA not only gives the employee a chance to do better but also saves the agency time and resources – and all but eliminates the risk of future litigation. \nThis one-hour class will explain all you need to know about LCAs including when to make the offer\, what considerations should go into the provisions\, and what happens if the employee violates the agreement. \nLearning objectives: \n\nApply the proper timelines for effective use of an LCA.\nIdentify the pros and cons of using LCAs.\nUnderstand the next steps to take when an employee violates an LCA.\n\nTraining time\n1:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET \nPricing\nEarly bird (register by April 28\, 2026): $215.00 \nStandard (register April 29\, 2026 or later): $255.00 \nEvent FAQs\nCan I attend this class using my government computer?\nThis event will be held on Zoom.
