Employment Law in Hawaii
Applying Performance and Conduct Standards to Employees With Disabilities discussion
October 1, 2008 from 8:30 to 10:30

You are invited to join Jeff Harris and his partner Tamara Gerrard for a discussion about the comprehensive question and answer guide published by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on September 3, 2008, covering how the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to performance and conduct concerns.
Hawaii employers should carefully consider the information in this quide, whenever they have questions about what steps are appropriate where a disability is causing – or seems to be causing – a performance or conduct problem, when requests for accommodation are made, when the issue of an employee’s disability should be raised as part of a discussion about performance or conduct problems or when they have any other concerns about what action they should take to address poor performance or misconduct in light of concerns about potential ADA violations.
Tamara and Jeff will go over the guide and related developments (including the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 pending in the U.S. Senate, having already passed the U.S. House) on Wednesday, October 1, 2008 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.; So please contact Ro(523-5320, rlp@torkildson.com) to let her know that you would like to join them.
