An accommodation revolution is coming! This presentation examines legal changes to Title VII workplace accommodations. Historically, Title VII required minimal employer concessions in terms of accommodations. Recently, statutes and cases expanded the scope of accommodation protections in Title VII. These changes constitute an 'accommodation revolution.' Employers will need to make increasing concessions to employee needs that were previously only available under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Are you ready for the accommodation revolution?
Learning Objectives:
- Increase understanding of the history and operation of Title VII.

- Provide information on recent legal changes in Title VII concerning accommodations.
