Federal Employees With Mental Disabilities:
Effectively Evaluating Claims and Requests for Reasonable Accommodation
Gary Gilbert, Federal Employment Law Attorney, Author, Former EEOC Chief AJ
Ernest Hadley, Federal Employment Law Attorney, Author
From securing and sharing medical documentation appropriately to providing
effective accommodations — federal HR and EEO specialists encounter numerous challenges employing workers with mental disabilities. And, you not only have to
comply with the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act to protect the employee, but you
also need to ensure that the employee is performing his/her job to set standards.
In this 90-minute audio conference, federal employment law attorneys and
experts Gary Gilbert and Ernest Hadley will provide you with practical solutions and
alert you to common pitfalls.
Plus, you’ll find out how to effectively:
• Evaluate mental disability claims and requests for
reasonable accommodations
• Determine when accommodation is appropriate or
when it may cause an undue hardship
• Identify the appropriate circumstances for a
fitness-for-duty examination
• Handle medical examinations and inquiries while
maintaining confidentiality
What’s more, you’ll learn specific strategies to handle situations
when accommodation is not possible or would cause an undue hardship.
You’ll discover the answers to these questions and more:
• Is a mental impairment that affects employees
only or primarily at work considered a disability
under the ADA?
• Can a change in supervision be a reasonable
accommodaion?
