Accommodations and Alternate Work Arrangements

Requests for alternate work arrangements including flexible schedule, remote work, and other arrangements have increased in number due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This webinar discusses the importance in distinguishing between a request for an Americans with Disabilities Act accommodation and an alternate work arrangement and responding appropriately. Topics covered include the supervisor’s role in recognizing an accommodation request and how to use an interactive process to determine accommodations. Resources to aid in the process are referenced and available to members in the HR Library. Also included are answers to questions submitted by webinar attendees.
