Mental health conditions affect the workplace in some of the same ways physical disabilities do, but they may not be as easily recognized or understood. Many mental health conditions qualify for protection under various laws. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) often apply, but other federal and state laws can also be implicated. Help clients navigate through legal issues when mental disabilities present in the workplace.
Watch so you can:
- Recognize when FMLA or ADA regulations apply
- Advise employer clients on the legal rights of workers with mental disabilities
- Avoid common mistakes made when dealing with an FMLA leave request
- Guide employer clients through the interactive process after an accommodation request
