    Program Description:

    The highest number of claims filed in Montana are disability, harassment, and retaliation. This one hour course taught by a Montana Human Rights Bureau investigator and mediator addresses the employer duty and obligation when responding to these claims including statutory timelines, liability, prima facie, risk, and case analysis. Accommodating physically and mentally disabled employees include the employer’s duty to: enter into an interactive dialogue; determine reasonable accommodation; essential job function; implementation; and follow-up. In addition, the course will address affirmative and preventative ways to reduce the chances of employees filing discrimination and retaliation claims.

    Presenter Information:

    Tam Newby is as an investigator for Montana Human Rights Bureau, where she has worked since March 2011. Although the majority of her cases are employment related, Tam’s investigative background is diverse: ranging from education to employment and from housing to finance and public accommodation. Tam is also a certified mediator and recent board member for Montana Mediation Association. Her philosophy about conflict resolution and training as a mediator enable Tam to mediate or settle cases, often resulting in more fulfilling outcomes for all parties.
