Product Description

Counsel for employers and employees grapple daily with how to engage in the interactive process under the Americans with Disabilities Act. That process has been complicated by the evolving workplace layered on top of our new COVID-19 environment.

Employment lawyers must advise clients about vaccine mandates, medical leave, remote work, and workplace redesign in the context of determining the rights of employees with disabilities seeking accommodations.
