Please join our ACC NCR Accessibility Affinity Group for a discussion on reasonable accommodations. We hope attendees will share your personal experiences when requesting or reviewing requests, or you are welcome to attend to learn more.  

Our ACC NCR Accessibility Affinity group includes legal professionals with visible and invisible disabilities and their allies. All members are welcome to attend.

Over the course of the past year, most U.S. businesses steadily ramped up their return-to-office efforts with the oft-stated goal of “returning to normal.” However, the return to the physical office has often proceeded in fits and starts, marked by the emergence of new COVID variants and other respiratory viruses, the prevalence of “long COVID,” growing numbers of employee requests for workplace accommodations based on both physical and mental health conditions, and proliferating state and local requirements. HR and leave management professionals are challenged daily to interpret and update their pre-COVID absence and accommodation practices, while courts and arbitrators are increasingly receptive to novel requests to modify the way we work.

In a nutshell, what we have “returned” to feels very different than what we left. Please join us as we review how COVID-19 has reshaped disability accommodation practices, including evolving assumptions about the reasonableness of proposed accommodations and the emerging case law in this area.
