No matter the setting, mental health is always a sensitive and delicate topic to address. It becomes even more sensitive when mental health issues cross into the workplace. Despite the delicate nature of the issues involved, it is vitally important that human resources understand the legal implications and ramifications. There are a host of concerns, not the least of which are disability accommodation and discrimination issues, leave issues, and workplace safety. Every workplace and every HR professional should be prepared to address this topic as it becomes more and more prevalent in the workplace.
Learning Objectives
• Understand the ramifications of mental health issues within the ADA, including how to avoid “regarded as” claims and how to engage in the reasonable accommodation process with mental health disabilities
• Understand relevant leave issues involving the ADA, FMLA leave and gratuitous leave such as PTO
