All about accommodations 

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act (WFEA) require employers to provide reasonable accommodations for workers with known disabilities. But even sophisticated employers and trained supervisors may find it challenging to determine when an employee is requesting a workplace accommodation. Lawyers advising employers and employees need to understand exactly what the ADA and WFEA require when it comes to reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities. 

At Key Issues in Accommodating Disabilities in the Workplace, Storm Larson and Jennifer S. Mirus will provide guidance on a recent Wisconsin Court of Appeals decision on reasonable accommodations under the ADA and WFEA. You’ll learn how the two laws overlap, as well as how they differ, and identify: 

• What “reasonable accommodation” means under the ADA and WFEA
• What constitutes an undue hardship on the employer
• When an employer has sufficient notice of an employee’s disability to trigger the “interactive process” between the employer and employee
• Important steps in the “interactive process” once an accommodation request is made

You’ll be in a better position to know when an employee is requesting a workplace accommodation so you can advise clients effectively on the next steps in the process. 

Disability discrimination cases under the ADA and WFEA can be challenging, but Key Issues in Accommodating Disabilities in the Workplace is here to help.
