MCCR Presents: Reasonable Accommodations During the COVID-19 Pandemic A Virtual Presentation Wednesday, November 10, 2021 12:00pm to 2:00pm Register at mccr.events/WorkAndCOVID What You Should Know About COVID-19 and Reasonable Accommodations in Maryland Presented by Glendora C. Hughes, MCCR General Counsel and Kara N. Hunt, Ph.D., MCCR Director of Education & Outreach The COVID-19 Pandemic has completely shifted the workplace environment. Now more than ever, employees work flexible hours, telework full or part-time, and operate on unique schedules. EEO and human resources personnel have indicated that the rate of reasonable accommodation requests that they receive have increased exponentially and require a more detailed analysis than those submitted prior to the pandemic. General Counsel Glendora C. Hughes will provide participants with an overview of Maryland's legal protections for persons with disabilities as well as answers to common questions such as: What if an employee refuses to come to work for fear of infection? Can I be forced to work during the COVID-19 pandemic? What are some recommendations for employers during the COVID-19 pandemic? Does my employer have to give me the specific accommodation I ask for? MCCR's Education & Outreach division will provide participants with interactive activities and educational insights.
