Complying With the New Realities of the ADA

January 28

Keep your organization in compliance with the EEOC’s regulations and avoid being part of the ADA litigation epidemic.

EEOC has recently filed numerous ADA suits against employers, as have private attorneys. The sweeping changes to the ADA in the last ten years have drastically changed the ADA challenges faced by employers. ADA claims are now over 37% of all EEOC charges and at their highest level ever, and 2023 EEOC ADA enforcement netted almost $144.4 million. The focus has shifted from whether an individual has a disability to whether an individual is qualified, whether the employer properly engaged in the interactive process, whether the employer offered a reasonable accommodation to the much larger number of individuals who are considered disabled under the ADA. Every employer needs to understand how the courts and the EEOC have addressed disability issues since the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA). Learn the appropriate actions to stay in compliance with the new realities of the EEOC’s regulations and targeted enforcement and the rapidly evolving court decisions under the ADAAA and the regulations. In addition, learn how the COVID pandemic “work from home” experience has drastically changed the analysis of employees’ ADA-based telework requests.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to recognize updated legislation and court cases and their impact to EEOC related cases.
  • You will be able to explain the EEOC’s 9 Rules of Construction.
  • You will be able to define the meaning and consequences of the regarded as prong of disability.
  • You will be able to identify the difference between reasonable accommodations and undue hardship.
