Keep your organization in compliance with the EEOC's regulations and avoid being part of the ADA litigation epidemic.
The sweeping changes to the ADA in the last ten years have drastically changed the ADA challenges faced by employers. In addition, COVID-based ADA issues are multiplying, and the EEOC has issued extensive Guidance on COVID/ADA issues. ADA claims are now over 37% of all EEOC charges, at their highest level ever, and 2021 EEOC ADA enforcement netted almost $122 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, and 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 action 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, the COVID pandemic adds many new ADA issues, including the effect of pandemic work-from-home experiences on employees' 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 recognize the EEOC's 9 Rules of Construction.
- You will be able to recognize the meaning and consequences of the regarded as prong of disability.
