SEDC has partnered with The Workforce Diversity Network of the Black Hills to help you understand the importance of retaining an employee that reveals a disability or becomes disabled. With an employee shortage keeping good employees is a must and when hiring, looking at abilities, not disabilities, can put your business miles ahead of the competition.
As a business owner, do you know where to find accommodations if an employee becomes disabled? A better question might be, do you know what the guidelines are regarding disabilities, leave of absence from an injury or sickness according to the State and Federal laws? Kathleen R. Barrow is an expert attorney in employment law and voted as one of 40 Best Employment Lawyers in America 2013- 2019. With almost 3 decades of helping employers, she will bring you up to speed on the latest laws, answer questions and make sure you have a better understanding of compliance and programs. Kathleen is a member of South Dakota Bar association along with Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and Nebraska.
