Are you up to speed on the very latest changes to the ADA? The ADA Amendments Act
went into effect on January 1, 2009 ... expanding the interpretation of the ADA's coverage and the definition of what
disabilities are covered under the Act.
Compliance with the ADA is no laughing matter. Even the
slightest misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the Americans with Disabilities Act can land your organization in
legal hot water resulting in possible fines, penalties, investigations, and legal action against you.
Protect your workers from discrimination, and your
organization from legal action.
Designed to protect qualified workers and job applicants
with disabilities against discrimination, the ADA covers private employers, state and local governments, and educational
institutions that employ 15 or more people. The ADA requires employers to make "reasonable accommodations" to allow
disabled workers to do their jobs. It requires workers to establish that they are disabled according to the ADA guidelines.
A disabled worker must demonstrate that he/she has a physical or mental impairment that limits a major life activity.
The worker then must show that he/she can perform the essential functions of the job, with or without reasonable
accommodations.
As an employer, it is up to you to be familiar with ADA
policies and procedures, be able to navigate complex ADA regulations with ease, and be knowledgeable about
up-to-the-minute changes recently imposed by the federal government.
Now in effect: The ADA Amendments Act
Signed into law by President George W. Bush on September 25,
2008, the ADA Amendments Act puts a number of new guidelines into place regarding disabled workers. These changes can be
confusing ... and interpreting them correctly can often become an exercise in frustration! Don't leave anything to chance
ensure that your ADA policies and procedures are correct, consistent, and follow the letter of the law.
This audio program will quickly familiarize you
with critical changes and revisions such as:
- Redefining of the term "substantial limits"
- Expanding the definition of "major life activities" by providing two separate lists of activities
- Mitigating measures other than eye glasses or contact lenses, mitigating measures shall not be considered when
assessing whether a person is disabled
- Clarifying that an impairment remains a disability even when it is non-active or in remission
- An individual will not be regarded as disabled if the perceived or actual disability is minor or transitory
The ADA Amendments Act also clarifies that it is to be
construed "in favor of broad coverage of individuals under this Act, to the maximum extent permitted by the terms of this
Act." With this in mind, it's imperative that you are familiar with all parts of the Act, as new amendments rebuke
decisions by the Supreme Court that had previously narrowed the law's interpretation.
