| Description: |
One of the most confounding problems for employers is what to do when an employee comes forward with a drug problem or when an employee appears to be intoxicated while at work.
This teleconference is designed to educate legal and HR professionals in addressing those situations within the boundaries of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which generally protects recovering drug addicts and alcoholics. The ADA was recently amended to allow more people to be protected and this teleconference will explain how the amendments affect those with addictions.
There are also important exceptions to the ADA's protections and this program will help you know when the ADA is in play and when it is not. Not only will this teleconference cover the law, but it will also provide strategies for working within the law, both in the context of recommended policies and through case studies.
Agenda- ADA Overview
- Definition of Disability as Applied to Users of Drugs and Alcoholics
- Reasonable Accommodation
- Workplace Rules and Strategies
- Case Studies

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
