- How to respond to an employee’s request for accommodation
- Whether and how to request documentation from an employee’s doctor
- What triggers the duty to engage in the interactive process
- How to document the interactive process
- Whether and how much "leave" is required as an accommodation
- How to handle conditions such as mental disabilities
- What to say (and not to say) to coworkers about an employee's accommodations
- Where the funds for accommodations should come from
- How the FMLA comes into play in disability cases
