USDOL Issues Three Employment Law Resources
The United States Department of Labor (USDOL) has issued three new employment law resources that can be read and accessed below.
Q&A with JAN’s Cognitive/Neurological Team
 Earlier this month, consultants on the cognitive/neurological team of USDOL’s Job Accommodation Network (JAN) held an illuminating Webcast fielding questions about a wide range of mental health and neurological conditions—from stress, anxiety, and depression to narcolepsy, memory problems, and ADHD—and reasonable accommodations for success in the workplace. The recorded Webcast, transcript and accompanying slides are now available online. |
Webinar: Navigating Mental Health and Your Job
Join the USDOL Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) and the USDOL Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) at 2 p.m. ET on Thursday, May 30, 2024, for a free Webinar about navigating mental health conditions and substance use disorders in the workplace. Learn about requesting reasonable accommodations, building a support network, understanding your legal rights when accessing care under a job-based health plan, appealing a denied claim, and more. Get your questions answered and hear real stories about workers who received help accessing their mental health benefits.

But have you ever wondered how captioning works in an immersive environment, such as virtual reality? Find out in recently published recommendations for accessible captions in 360-degree video, by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Immersive Captions Community Group, with input from the USDOL-funded Partnership on Employment and Accessible Technology (PEAT). |
