Do you have an employee complaining about a co-worker's perfume? Ignore such issues at your peril -- as unbelievable as it sounds, your organization could be slapped with an ADA claim. Last year, the city of Detroitpaid $100,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by a planning department employee who claimed her coworker's scent sickened her. In another case, an appeals court sided with an employee who claimed an allergic reaction to a colleague's hand lotion and was refused her request to be moved.
But there's more. The EEOC now says that under ADA Amendments Act, an employee may be "disabled" if a workplace odor or substance causes asthma or an allergy to become "severe." Is a "scent-free" policy the best way to fend off a lawsuit? How can you accommodate employees with odor allergies?
Participate in this interactive webinar and get the answers to these questions, as well as:
What you MUST know about about allergies and sensitivities to scents and odors
How to be sure the ailment is real
How the new ADAAA regs have complicated , which may trigger more ADA disability claims
When allergies are protected under the law
Real-world examples of how employers are accommodating scent allergies
How to train supervisors to be sensitive to those with sensitive noses
Why the EEOC is targeting employers who refuse the option to telecommute for accommodating allergy conditions
And much more...
