Session I
“What’s Not to Like About Social Media in the Workplace?”
No matter where we turn, social media seems unavoidable. The workplace is no exception. Social media offers opportunities for employers but also presents pitfalls. In this presentation, Sean and Elena will discuss the use of social media in: (1) screening for job applicants; (2) disruptive and harassing online behavior by employees; and (3) staying out of trouble with the FTC for online comments and reviews.
Session 2
“I Have a Note From My Doctor” – Engaging with Employees’ Medical Providers on ADA Accommodation and Fitness for Duty Issues.
When seeking a disability accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), or fitness for duty issues, employees often present a note from their medical provider. These notes may contain vague or even onerous work restrictions, and employer may feel at a loss for how to proceed. Through this presentation, Garrett Kitamura and Kaleigh Boyer will discuss how employers can learn how to effectively interact with medical providers to get the necessary information as part of the ADA’s interactive process, or for fitness for duty matters.
Session 3
