Guide an employer through the reasonable accommodation / reasonable adjustments interactive process for disabled employees.

Covers US ADA Title I, UK Equality Act 2010, and EU Employment Equality Directive 2000/78/EC. Topics include: disability determination, essential job functions, accommodation options, undue hardship / disproportionate burden, medical documentation, confidentiality, leave as accommodation, reassignment, anti-retaliation, and Glass Box audit trails.
