Product Description
Product Description
Counsel for employers and employees grapple daily with how to engage in the interactive process under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and parallel state law. The process has been complicated by the evolving workplace layered on top of new leave statutes and the post pandemic work environment. Employment lawyers must advise clients about medical leave, remote work, and workplace redesign in the context of determining the rights of employees with disabilities seeking accommodations.
