Fit for Duty in California? When Medical Examinations are the Answer

SHRM Recommended Readings

Manager's Guide to HR

This session will help you determine the appropriate circumstances to require fitness for duty medical examinations and legal processes to follow.

When can an employer require an employee to be medically evaluated as “fit for duty”? Many situations give rise to this question, from an employee whose behavior poses a safety risk to co-workers, to an employee’s medical condition that suggests that injury is likely to occur, to an employee whose return from leave of absence is questionable. California's leave of absence, disability and medical confidentiality laws add multiple layers of complexity to these issues. In this session, we will cover these intertwining legal parameters and explore best practices in handling reasonable accommodation requests and return to work programs.
