Employers often don't have the necessary information on how to deal with employees who require assistance dogs. In addition to needing to understand how to integrate the dog into a work setting, employers have concerns about how other employees will react. What if someone is allergic? Fearful of dogs? What if the dog is too distracting?
These issues and more were discussed in a live webinar produced by the Job Accommodation Network (JAN), a service of the Office of Disability Policy, U.S. Department of Labor on August 5, 2014.
The purpose of the webinar was to explain best practices (and legal rights of both employer and employee) of integrating a service dog into the workplace. Interest was high: 500 locations signed up in advance, completely filling the live event.
