"Service Animals in the Workplace: Employer and Employee Rights & Responsibilities"

Session Objective:
Under the ADA, is a service animal a reasonable accommodation? Does an employee have to let an employee bring a service animal to work?  What rights do co-workers and customers have in regard to service animals?  What about emotional support animals—are these animals also allowed into the workplace?  Those questions and more will be covered in this session.
