ABOUT THE EVENT

Topic Overview

More and more individuals are using service animals to assist with a host of medical conditions. At one time, it was easy for an employer to say “no animals allowed” in the workplace. With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, however, employers now have to consider whether an employee is entitled to have a service animal at work as an accommodation. How do you tell the difference between an employee who needs a service animal as opposed to one who just wants to bring their pet to work? What documentation can you require?
