In this practical webinar, you will be provided with a frame of reference that will enable you to respond to requests for “reasonable accommodations” under the Americans With Disabilities Act. You will learn the five critical questions to determine whether an employer is obligated to take any action under the ADA, and whether any defenses are available if you are accused of violating the ADA. You will learn whether a leave of absence is required as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA after an employee has exhausted 12 weeks of FMLA leave, and how the courts and the EEOC disagree on this issue. You will learn strategies and tactics for dealing with the EEOC. Upon course completion, you will be able to describe:
- The duty to reasonably accommodate a “disability” under the Americans With Disabilities Act
- Questions to ask to determine whether an employer is obligated to reasonably accommodate a disability
- Under what circumstances must a leave of absence be granted as a reasonable accommodation
- Emerging requests for accommodations, including:
- telecommuting
- service animals
- “retroactive leniency”
- What you can do before a charge is filed with the EEOC
- What attorneys representing employers should do after a charge is filed with the EEOC

What is a webinar?
A webinar is simply a seminar that you attend online. You either watch a live video feed of the speaker or listen to the speaker through your computer, tablet or phone’s audio. You see the speaker’s slides, videos, and other presentation materials on your screen.
Can I ask questions during the webinar?
Yes. During the live webinar, you may submit questions and comments and the speaker will respond verbally. For a recorded webinar, your questions will be emailed to the speaker. You will typically receive a response from the speaker within two business days.
Can I attend using a tablet or smartphone?
Yes. You may attend a webinar using a computer, tablet or smartphone.
If I can’t attend a webinar live, can I view the recording later?
Yes. Shortly after each live program ends, we send all webinar registrants a link to the webinar recording. You can view the recording as many times as you like after the live webinar for up to 12 months.
What is an on-demand webinar?
An on-demand webinar is a previously recorded webinar that you may view at any time after your purchase for up to 12 months.
Can I stop a recorded webinar and start it later at the same point?
You can stop a recording and later log back in and navigate to any point in the webinar. The system will not force you to view the entire recording from start to finish.
Can I listen to recorded webinars on a tablet or smartphone?
Yes. You will be able to listen to any of our on-demand webinars on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Do the webinars qualify for Continuing Education Credit?
Almost all of our webinars are approved for continuing education credit, including CLE (in all states), CCB, CPE, HRCI, IRS and SHRM credit. Unlike many providers, we don’t charge you any additional fee to process your credit. If you have specific questions, please call us at 703-372-0550 or contact us.
Can I still receive Continuing Education Credits if I view the webinar recording instead of the live presentation?
In most cases, the answer is yes. Recorded webinars are not eligible for CLE credit in the following states: AR, KS, MS, NE, and RI. In all other jurisdictions, recorded programs are eligible for credit. In addition, CPE credit is not available for recorded webinars. Please note that recorded webinars are only eligible for a certain period of time based on the jurisdiction. To ask about your specific type of Continuing Education Credit or the requirements in your jurisdiction, please call us at 703-372-0550 or contact us.
Will I receive a certificate of completion after the course?
Yes. A certificate of completion will automatically be uploaded to your Clear Law Institute account after completing the live or on-demand webinar.
Do I need to be a member to receive a certificate of completion?
No. An account will automatically be created for you when registering for a webinar. You will then be able to access your certificate of completion after completing a webinar.
How do I determine my states’s CLE requirements.

Very knowledgeable speaker on the ADA subject matter. It is obvious Robert has lived and breathed the ADA in his professional career. He did an excellent job making this confusing topic understandable by those of us without a law degree.
