Part #2 of the Divorce Makeover with Christine Ristuccia

After a seven-year high-conflict divorce process, Christine Ristuccia decided to create a course that examines current negative beliefs, which she learned kept the divorce process alive. She discovered the truth of the old adage: it takes two to tango. Both parties to the divorce have responsibility for conflict, which arises from and is exacerbated by their negative beliefs. The course teaches you to observe yourself and your beliefs so you can adjust your responses to your ex-spouse, set healthy boundaries, and recognize and disengage from conflicted interactions. These new behaviors can shift your role to that of a professional, fact-based, and effective problem-solver. In addition to creating an on-line Divorce Makeover course as a result of her experiences, today Christine is a high-conflict trainer certified through the High Conflict Diversion by Brook Olsen in San Diego, California. She also has taken courses by Avatar and Amanda Frances working on Limiting Belief Management. She is a yoga instructor certified in Kundalini, Anasara, and basic 200-hour teacher training. She currently teaches yoga and has worked at a variety of yoga studios including Yoga Six in Carlsbad, CA.

I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Adam Morell, the National Director of ADA Compliance with Sedgwick on “Navigating the Interactive Process: Focusing on the needs of the employee while balancing the business needs of the organization.” Appeals courts universally stress the importance of the interactive dialogue, and a recent 5th circuit sums it up nicely, saying that employers and employees must have "flexible, interactive discussions" about employees' accommodation requests. Here is a transcript of key highlights: • 2020 is the 30-year anniversary of its passage. • 2019: There were more cases filed pertaining to disability than any other protected class of Title VII protections. • 2008: 20% cases filed were disability-related. • 2020: 33% cases filed were disability-related (a 13% increase in 12 years or about 1% per year). The 2008 ADA Amendments put a stop to the quibbling over what medical conditions are protected under the law and redirected employers to focus on what’s really important…making accommodations. On the other hand, the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is 27 years old. As a society, we understand FMLA better than the ADA because the metrics to FMLA are defined making it easier to manage, i.e. must work at least 1 year or 1250 hours to earn 12 weeks of protected leave. The ADA is less defined, requiring employer discretion for each employee situation. Leave under the ADA doesn’t kick in until after FMLA runs out. WHEN TO START THE PROCESS: Employers should connect with their employees about 10 weeks into any FMLA leave to start the interactive process. To get started, send an employer-employee friendly letter that the FMLA leave is running out. Let the process start using existing FMLA medical documentation. For employers, engaging early represents an excellent opportunity to educate employees about the process, something most are totally unfamiliar with. 1) Ensure that the medical documentation is specific and clear. You have a right under the ADA to seek clarity. “Seek first to understand” (Stephen Covey). 2) Partner with the employee. Balance the needs of the employee and the employer. 3) Document all efforts. 4) Never lose sight of the backbone of the interactive process – to engage. Accommodate where you can in the work environment because it makes good business sense. The courts made it very clear in several decisions that they want employers and employees to agree on accommodations. The ADA is a challenge because it’s a “swamp of imprecise language” and each employee situation must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. And, ADA presents a bigger litigation risk as twice as many ADA cases are filed than FMLA. The “Leave of Absence” litigation represents murky waters. 100% healed policies are adverse to the philosophy of the ADA. Paying people to stay at home is not what the ADA supports. A major course case called TROUTMAN v. TIME WARNER addressed the issue around employee engagement. An employee requested an accommodation to leave work early but refused to engage in the interactive process to explore options. Her attendance then became a performance issue, no longer protected under the ADA, and her position was not supported by the court. Key Takeaways: #1 Engage in a dialogue that is geared towards a partnership. Not required to grant the accommodation an employee wants when/if alternatives exist that work. Are REQUIRED to engage in the interactive process. #2 Be flexible. #3 Document, document, document! Upcoming webinar on April 9, 2020 - “To Outsource or To Not? That is the question.

It gets confusing for employers and claims administrators when employees have work-related injuries. While not required under Workers' Comp, the ADA obligates employers to engage in a good faith, timely interactive process with their employees to review functional limitations (aka work restrictions in Workers' Comp) against the job's essential functions to determine what, if any, accommodations can be achieved. Failure to engage in the interactive process can be a costly venture for employers. And, the picture gets even more complicated when the PTP says one thing and the QME or AME says another. Workers' Comp has an hierarchical approach to which doctor's guidelines are used for permanent disability and settlement purposes. ADA requires that ALL doctors' notes be considered along with the employee's perspective! Our Subject Matter Expert, Felicia Amenta, joins Dr. D, The MINDSET Doc, with an impressive background. Here's Felicia's foundation on which she can speak so authoritatively: Felicia has over 30 years of experience in the workers' compensation arena working with insurance companies, employers, third party administrators, health care providers, and self-insured public entities. She possesses Certificates in Self-Insured Plan Administration and Workers' Compensation Claims Administration as well as completed the Essentials in Risk Pool Management in the State of California. She previously served as the Claims Manager of the San Diego office for third-party administrator, Sedgwick. Currently, Felicia is responsible for the CA self-insured workers' compensation program for the San Diego County Schools Risk Management JPA with over 60 school districts, community colleges, and charter school members in their workers' compensation pool. 1) What are 5 common mistakes employers and claims administrators make when it comes to managing work-related injuries in light of the ADA? 2) What are 3 things employers should keep in mind when it comes to navigating ADA, WC and the Education Code? 3) What are 2 myths that employers and claims administrators have about the ADA? 4) What is the #1 recommendation you have for employers in 2020?
