MASTERCLASS SERIES
When Discipline and Disability Collide
Managing Performance, Misconduct, Attendance, and ADA Risk in the Real World
One of the most common concerns I hear from supervisors is:
"I can't hold employees accountable anymore."
A supervisor begins addressing attendance issues.
An employee receives discipline for misconduct.
A performance conversation is underway.
Then suddenly:
"My disability caused the problem."
Everything stops.
Questions start.
Uncertainty increases.
And many organizations either:
- continue discipline when they should pause,
- pause when they don't need to,
- ignore ADA triggers,
- or abandon accountability altogether.
None of those outcomes serve the employee or the organization.
When Disability and Discipline Intersect, the Hard Part Is Knowing the Right Path.

From Rachel
When disability and discipline collide, many organizations feel forced to choose between accountability and accommodation.
That is a false choice.
The real challenge is understanding which process should be used, when it should be used, and how to move through that process consistently.
This course will help you do exactly that.
