When a Potential Accommodation Creates an Undue Hardship or Imminent Safety Threat
Join Patricia Eyres, Managing Partner of Eyres Law as she examines and explains this important topic.
How to Objectively Determine when a Potential Accommodation Creates an Undue Hardship or Imminent Safety Threat and then Successfully Defend your Decision in Court:
One of the most difficult – and misunderstood – aspects of considering reasonable accommodations is determining what modifications are reasonable and when the requested accommodations result in an undue burden on the department or the entity. Supervisors and Administrators often assert that implementing a particular accommodation will be unduly burdensome or compromise safety; however, they lack the necessary objective facts to meet the tough standards of defending these conclusions in a FEHA lawsuit. This webinar will focus on very specific, real-world scenarios in a variety of public agency departments – from jobs requiring significant physical capacity, to those with detail oriented tasks that are negatively impacted by limitations in cognitive capacity or mental acuity. We will provide a step-by-step approach with real-world scenarios to help HR and risk professionals and their department leaders identify, articulate and then to objectively document a decision not to accommodate and then to defend the decision based on undue burden or imminent safety threat defenses.
