Presentation Description: This presentation explores assistance animals, including service animals and emotional support animals, in the workplace. We will discuss the differences between the two categories of animal and how, if at all, any difference between the two impacts whether an employee can bring the animal to work. We will discuss what process the employer must follow when contemplating an animal in the workplace and what guidance the employer can follow if an employee is allowed to bring the animal to work. This presentation will largely focus on the requirements of Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Title I protects the employment rights of individuals with disabilities in the workplace. However, we will also discuss Titles II and III of the ADA, as well as several other laws, to understand how treatment of assistance animals under those laws can create questions and confusion with regard to assistance animals in the workplace.
