ADA regulations have dictated to employers how to correctly respond to employees with disabilities since its enactment in 1990. However, as years went by, Congress became exceedingly frustrated with numerous court rulings concerning American employees with disabilities. In fact, the original definition of a disability was no longer paid much attention, and an increasingly narrower definition became the overriding factor in court decisions. Therefore, the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act (ADAAA) was signed into law on September 25, 2008, creating a broader definition for disabilities. With these amendments, employees have a lesser demand to prove the validity of their disability. Instead, the court system will now focus on the employer’s attempts to provide reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities. How are employers to respond? With the e information available in this webcast, you will come away with an understanding of the necessary procedures for responding to situations surrounding the ADAAA.
