Report Link Major Changes to Americans with Disabilities Act Under Consideration by Congress.Jackson Lewis LLP - March 07, 2008 Employers need to begin considering seriously the impact of a potential major expansion of employee protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act that has over 240 co-sponsors in the House. The House Education and Labor Committee, House Judiciary Committee and the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee already have held hearings and more are expected soon. See (H.R.3195) and (S.1881) of H.R.3195. Report Link Disability as a Justification for Employees' Misconduct?Shaw Valenza LLP - December 11, 2007 Anti-discrimination laws that prohibit disability discrimination - such as the Americans With Disabilities Act - are among the most difficult employment laws for employers to administer and for employment lawyers to litigate. The law prohibiting disability discrimination differs from most other anti-discrimination laws. The most obvious distinction is that treating employees consistently will defeat most discrimination claims based on race, sex and other protected criteria. Report Link Smells Like A Lawsuit: Sensitivity to Fragrances as a Disability.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - October 04, 2007 Supervisors and managers have to handle all sorts of problems arising from people's interactions in the workplace, and some of these tasks are more thankless than others. For example, a complaint about a co-worker's terrible body odor may require an uncomfortable chat about showering regularly and using deodorant. But what about when the complaint is that an employee is wearing too much perfume or cologne? Report Link Title III of the ADA: Compliance and Litigation Strategies.Shaw Valenza LLP - October 01, 2007 It has been 17 years since the first President Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). Congress’s intent in passing the ADA was to eliminate discrimination against millions of Americans with disabilities by establishing clear, consistent, and enforceable standards. The act was declared to be “the most sweeping piece of civil rights legislation possible in the history of our country, but certainly since the Civil War era.” Report Link EEOC Fact Sheet Focuses on Health Care Employers.Ford & Harrison LLP - March 14, 2007 The EEOC recently published a question and answer (Q&A) fact sheet on the application of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to employees and job applicants in the health care industry. Report Link Is Your Website Accommodating?Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - November 17, 2006 A California district court refused to dismiss a class action by an organization for the blind challenging the accessibility of Target.com under the "public accommodation" provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Target contended that those provisions of the ADA related only to its "brick-and -mortar" stores. The court, however, found that Target’s website was a “gateway” to those stores and, as such, was subject to the ADA’s public accommodation requirements. National Federation of the Blind v. Target Corp. Report Link About the ADA (pdf).Jones Walker - April 24, 2006 When questions about employees’ disabilities arise, finding the right answers can be
complicated. This month, we’ve answered a few of your questions to help you recognize some
disability-related issues commonly faced by employers. Of course, it’s always best to consult
your labor attorney before taking any action because Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
issues are fact-specific, and courts rarely, if ever, recognize clear-cut rules in these cases. Report Link ADA Compliance: A Guide for Restaurants & Other Food Service Employers.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - December 09, 2004 Based upon the premise that restaurants and other food service employers have difficulty following the employment portion of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) while maintaining compliance with federal, state and local public health rules, on October 29, 2004, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued guidance on the basic rights of disabled food service employees and applicants under the ADA. Using a question and answer format punctuated by examples and citations to materials available on the internet, the EEOC attempts to provide basic education to food service employers on the application of the ADA to their industry. Report Link The Supreme Court Further Defines the Parameters of the Americans with Disabilities Act.Fredrikson & Byron, P.A. - December 31, 2002 The United States Supreme Court has issued a number of decisions this year that clarify, and many would argue significantly narrow, coverage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA or the Act). Report Link A Report on the Tenth Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)Equal Employment Opportunity Commission - July 26, 2000 EEOC status report on the ADA, including discussions regarding technical assistance and enforcement activities (filing of charges, and types of employment discrimination faced by disabled individuals).
