JAN Monthly Webcast Series - June 2023 - Performance and Conduct Issues

Please note - there is a typographical error on slide 36. The next JAN webcast is Thursday, July 13, 2023, at 2 pm Eastern.
What to Do When Performance and Conduct Factor into the Accommodation Equation
Sometimes limitations related to a disability can contribute to performance or conduct issues at work. What steps are appropriate when a disability is, or seems to be, causing a performance or conduct issue? When may an employer raise the issue of an employee’s disability as part of a discussion about performance or conduct? This training will explore how performance and conduct issues factor into the accommodation equation. Learn when a medical inquiry in response to poor performance or a conduct violation may be appropriate under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), what do when it’s believed that an employee with a disability poses a direct threat, and better business practices when engaging in the accommodation process.
Presenters:
Lisa Mathess, Principal Consultant, ADA Specialist
Melanie Whetzel, Principal Consultant, Team Lead
Tracie DeFreitas, Program Leader, Director of Training, Services, and Outreach

High performance just right for me

[@Mosdefinitelyable]

I was disciplined for asking “inappropriate” questions that to me were perfectly appropriate. My disability requires a lot of clarification.

[@BIBLE-a-s-m-r]

Lol same. hahah. got fired but that job was a headache to anyone, and they treated their customers like shit. they were crooks, and it was disgusting.

[@Mosdefinitelyable]

Using the terms “Inappropriate behavior” is way too vague. Does not signify anything. Leaves way too much open to the superior to deem as inappropriate. Totally not fair.
