January 27th, 2009 » Work at Home/Altered Work Schedules as an

accommodation

The ADA and reasonable accommodation: does it include work at home or

an obligation to provide an altered work schedule? This session will

discuss these concepts as they apply to reasonable accommodation and

explore what the courts are saying and how the EEOC guidance in this

area is useful in determining whether or not it is “reasonableâ€

for your organization.
