Kronick is pleased to again sponsor the California Public Employers Labor Relations Association (CALPELRA) Annual Conference on November 15 – 18 in Monterey, CA. One of the most vexing problems employers continually face is effectively managing disability accommodation issues, now further complicated by COVID-related questions. Is long COVID a recognized disability? Is telework a reasonable accommodation an employer must consider and conversely, can an employer claim that physical presence in the workplace is an essential function of the job? In tackling these difficult questions, employers must be able to address what accommodations they must consider; when a requested accommodation is unreasonable; whether an employer must provide an employee’s accommodation of choice; how long must leave as an accommodation be granted; and how the interactive process meeting should be conducted to make it as effective as possible. In this interactive session, “Disability Accommodation And The Interactive Process” with David Tyra and Terilynn Diepenbrock, you’ll learn how to manage problems in a way that meets all legal requirements and most effectively protects both the employer’s and employee’s interests.
