The 2008 Amendments to the ADA greatly expanded the definition of a disability.
If you have a problem employee that you are considering disciplining or terminating for filing a workers’ compensation claims, there are some federal statutes that have potential impact when an employee has a medical condition. The Family Medical Leave Act requires covered employers to provide 12 weeks of unpaid leave to eligible employees for a serious medical condition. The employee must give proper notice to take FMLA leave and the employer may require a doctor’s certification if the claimant was given proper notice of the requirement. This video will cover the American’s With Disabilities Act and an overview of the 2008 amendments.
