Supporting a more disability-inclusive workplace is part of the UMBC experience - in this session for Supervisors Human Resources and Accessibility and Disability Services will provide a review of UMBC's Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Leave and Disability Accommodation processes focusing on working with an employee's own health condition/s. Attendees will strengthen their ability to co-create a disability-friendly workplace and community while having a more in-depth understanding of the intricacies surrounding FMLA leave and disability accommodations. Presenters are:
- Stephanie Lazarus, Accessibility Manager of Accessibility & Disability Services, will present on disability inclusion and the employee accommodation process;
- Andrea Guzman, Employee Relations Specialist is the FMLA Designee of Human Resources and may be contacted via aguzman@umbc.edu for additional information about UMBC FMLA Leave for an Employee's Serious Health Condition.
