Long awaited guidance from the EEOC addressing leave as an ADA reasonable accommodation has finally arrived. The May 9, 2016 guidance includes details about the following:
- When and how an employer can communicate with the employee and the health care provider as part of the required interactive process;
- The scope of an employer's responsibility to grant leave related to a flare up of an employee's disabling condition, treatment or other matters related to the disability;
- What factors may be considered in determining whether leave is an undue hardship; and
- The interaction of leave as a reasonable accommodation with FMLA leaves, state leave laws, short/long term disability and workers' compensation leaves.
Join us for an in depth look at the new EEOC guidance to determine if your policies and procedures require an update to remain in compliance.
