About This Course

Organizations often implement telecommuting to assist employees with family responsibilities, health concerns, and disabilities, as well as to reduce commuting costs and offer flexible schedules. However, these well-intentioned plans can sometimes lead to complex legal issues. How do you defend against claims of discrimination when an employee is denied telecommuting? What if an employee insists that telecommuting is the only “reasonable accommodation” for a disability, even though the position requires office presence? Or if you suspect an employee is not working the requisite hours but lack proof?

The legal challenges in these scenarios are significant. Without a thorough understanding of the issues and a legally sound telecommuting policy, organizations risk costly and time-consuming litigation. Join employment law expert Melissa Fleischer, Esq. for an in-depth seminar addressing these critical concerns.

Key topics include:

  • Legal strategies for protecting organizations when an employee is injured while telecommuting
  • Best practices for handling FMLA leave requests from remote employees
  • Evaluating the necessity of a formal telecommuting policy
  • Assessing telecommuting as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA
  • Managing potential discrimination claims arising from selective telecommuting privileges
  • Developing a legally compliant telecommuting policy
  • Understanding the legal ramifications of eliminating telecommuting options
  • This seminar is essential for legal professionals advising organizations on navigating the legal intricacies of telecommuting. Equip yourself with the expertise to mitigate risks and safeguard your clients.
