ABOUT THE EVENT

COVID-19 and all the new laws and regulations are confusing enough for HR but even more perplexing is how to deal with an employee who claims they cannot wear a face mask.  How do you handle this problem while ensuring compliance with all of your legal obligations to keep the workplace safe during COVID-19?  Do you have to provide the employee with a reasonable accommodation under the ADA?  If so, what reasonable accommodation would you provide?  Is the employee even entitled to reasonable accommodation or could you claim that they are not a qualified individual with a disability?  On what basis could you claim this?  The answers to this and many other questions will be provided during this in-depth COVID-19 webinar presented by legal employment law and COVID-19 expert, Melissa Fleischer, Esq. 

What you will learn:

  • How to handle the issue when an employee refuses to wear a face mask in the workplace during COVID-19
  • Whether the employee would be entitled to a reasonable accommodation?
  • Would the employee be allowed to work remotely as a reasonable accommodation?
  • What medical documentation would the employee have to provide?
  • Would the employee be considered a “qualified individual with a disability” under the ADA?
  • Is wearing a face mask in the workplace when required to do so by state and federal requirements, an essential function of an employee’s job?
  • And much more….
