Description

California employers have a responsibility to engage in the interactive process and to provide reasonable accommodation for an employee’s disability. An understanding of the requirements of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (“FEHA”) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), and how they intersect, is crucial to taking appropriate action and avoiding liability. Learn your responsibilities as an employer; when your duty to engage in the interactive process is triggered; and, what constitutes a reasonable accommodation.

Is your business vulnerable? Practical responses, solutions, defenses and resolutions. How your business can achieve and maintain compliance with disability regulations including company websites and avoid litigation and costly fines. Discussion of the practical aspects of compliance with the Unruh Act, California Title 24 Building Standards and ADA. How to create defensible plans and tax incentives.
