Includes valuable, easy to use handout materials to keep and use as a reference source for best practices.Effective January 1, 2015, the Illinois Human Rights Act was amended to create additional protections for pregnant employees. This new law puts a lot of serious legal responsibilities on Illinois employers and the specific way that they must accommodate pregnant employees. This teleseminar will go over many examples of reasonable accommodations and what accommodations might impose an undue hardship on the employer. We will also explain what medical documentation can be requested from an employee. Employers who do not respond to pregnant employees in the right manner can cause major, expensive lawsuits!
This teleseminar, presented by experienced employment lawyers Nancy Joerg and Tony Caruso, will be presented in a lively, interactive style, in plain English (no legalese!), right over the phone. No computers involved. All you need is a standard telephone. We also provide you valuable handouts. Many everyday workplace examples will be given and, in one brief hour, you will understand how to help avoid a financial catastrophe under this new Illinois law.
