Overview
If your business has 15 or more employees–no matter where they work–you have to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. It sounds scary, but it’s not. This 60 minute webinar with HR expert Suzanne Lucas will cover what you need to do right now and when you need to call an expert.
What is the “interactive process”? Do you have to say yes to every request? Can you fire someone who has a disability? When can you ignore an employee’s complaint and when must you act?
Don’t be scared of the ADA. Come and see what you need to do.
This is a brief overview of how to proceed and is not legal advice.
