Determining appropriate reasonable accommodations to provide to disabled employees or employees seeking to return to work after extended leaves of absence continues to be a vexing problem for employers.  This session will look at common scenarios that employers regularly face in this area.  Attendees will be guided through each scenario focusing on such actions as : 1) properly documenting all aspects of a situation, 2) conducting productive IAP meetings, 3) appropriate analyses of reasonable accommodation options, and 4) finally reaching correct decisions with respect to providing reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities.
