Complimentary DMi Webinar

As in-person work expectations continue to rise in 2025, so do requests for remote work, especially when tied to a need for reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). This session will break down what employers need to know now, balancing legal compliance with evolving workplace norms. We will examine the interactive process, step-by-step, and explore how recent court decisions and updated EEOC guidance impact how employers evaluate remote work requests.

This session will cover:

• How to assess whether an employee qualifies for a remote work accommodation
• What makes remote work a “reasonable” accommodation and when it might not be
• Lessons from recent court rulings and EEOC-initiated litigation
• How prior remote work arrangements (even if temporary) may influence employee requests
• Best practices for engaging in the interactive process and documenting decisions in compliance with the ADA and PWFA

Whether you’re HR, legal counsel, or a compliance professional, this session will help you better understand your risks when responding to accommodation requests in our new normal.
