The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), signed by President George H.W. Bush in July 1990, is a civil rights law banning discrimination against people with disabilities in jobs, schools, transportation and all places open to the public. It aims to give people with disabilities the same rights and opportunities protected on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age and religion.
This 60-minute ADA compliance webinar covers Titles I through V, the rights of employers, applicants and employees, and the definitions of reasonable accommodation and major life activities. You'll review examples of accommodations, the limits on the duty to accommodate, keeping production and performance standards, protected medical conditions, how federal and state law interact, and recordkeeping and posting requirements.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
ADA non-compliance can be expensive, with penalties that can exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars. Handling disability accommodation well is also a visible part of ethical business practice.
This session explains why compliance matters, what happens when it fails, and how the accommodation process works under federal and state law. It suits senior leaders, HR and line managers and supervisors, and compliance and operations professionals.
