This session will focus on the ever-evolving ADA reasonable accommodation landscape that employers face. Over the last 10 years generally and since the onset of Covid specifically, employers have been faced with an increasingly complicated set of ADA issues to identify, analyze, and accommodate. Covid and in particular long-haul Covid pose significant challenges, including mental health issues that can arise as a result of Covid. Further, the opioid epidemic is raging in the U.S., which also presents potential ADA compliance issues. This session will highlight these challenges and potential solutions for addressing same. |
