Would you know what to do in these scenarios? 🤔

❓ An employee asks you for a disability accommodation in the hiring process – what should you do?

❓ An employee has a prescription drug addiction and comes to you because they are struggling to perform – are you required to provide an accommodation?

❓ An employee refuses to abide by the company dress code policy because of their religious belief – can you terminate them?

❓ A pregnant employee is having complications and needs four weeks of leave – do you know how the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act has changed requirements for employers?

If you're not sure what you'd do, our All Things Accommodations training is one week away! Don't miss out on this opportunity to protect your business!
