In this episode, AGG Employment partners Ed Cadagin and Megan Mitchell unpack new Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") guidance on telework and reasonable accommodations.

Although the guidance is directed at federal agencies under the Rehabilitation Act, it offers important insight into how the EEOC is likely to evaluate similar issues under the ADA for private employers. Ed and Megan discuss when telework may be required, how employers can reassess pandemic-era remote work arrangements, and best practices for handling accommodation requests in the workplace. The team shares actionable guidance to help organizations navigate telework decisions with confidence.
