The ADA as Amended: What Does It Mean to You?
This past year Congress amended the Americans with Disabilities Act largely in response to a series of Supreme Court decisions focused on employment. The new law took effect on January 1, 2009 and requires the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to change its regulations. The proposed regulatory changes were released on September 23, 2009 and the University has revised its policies and practices.
This workshop will summarize the changes in the law and regulations with an emphasis on how it will impact the daily practices of HRP's and supervisors, including:
-Determining who has a disability under the ADA's expanded definition
-Recognizing and responding to accommodation requests
-The intersection of FMLA & the ADA
-The amended definition of disability discrimination
