Report Link Job Reassignment Under ADA Remains Unclear.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - March 05, 2008 While the Supreme Court stands to be quite busy in the next several months deciding important employment law questions, it will not issue a ruling in one of the more widely-anticipated cases that had appeared on its docket this term: Huber v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
This case was to decide the correct standard to apply in ADA cases when an employee seeks a reassignment to a new position as a reasonable accommodation – should that employee merely be afforded the opportunity to compete with other applicants in the normal hiring pool, or should the employer be forced to grant preferential treatment and automatically reassign that employee above more qualified applicants? Report Link Light Duty: Handle with Care.Jackson Lewis LLP - March 24, 2006 Earlier this year, a California court of appeal concluded employers are not required to make temporary light-duty positions permanent as an accommodation under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act ("FEHA"). The court's decision in Raine v. City of Burbank provides clarification on an important question and highlights issues employers should consider in deciding whether and how to administer light duty programs. The good news is this: light duty, handled appropriately, may provide benefits to both employers and employees. Report Link Work At Home/Telework as a Reasonable Accommodation.Equal Employment Opportunity Commission - February 03, 2003 Many employers have discovered the benefits of allowing employees to work at home through telework (also known as telecommuting) programs. Telework has allowed employers to attract and retain valuable workers by boosting employee morale and productivity. Technological advancements have also helped increase telework options. President George W. Bush's New Freedom Initiative emphasizes the important role telework can have for expanding employment opportunities for persons with disabilities. Report Link Family Leave As An Accommodation Under The ADA.Ballard Rosenberg Golper & Savitt - September 01, 2002 The Tenth Circuit held that a request for a leave within the limitations of the Family and Medical Leave Act ("FMLA") may qualify as a request for a reasonable accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA"). Report Link When An Employee’s Absence From Work Is Disability-Related Does Employers Discipline Violate Americans With Disabilities Act? [PDF File].Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP. - February 08, 1999 Lengthy discussion of whether attendance is an essential function and whether time off is a reasonable accommodation. Report Link Accommodation Ideas.Job Accommodation Network - (No Date) Consultants from the Job Accommodation Network have compiled several ideas for accommodating individuals with particular disabilities, ranging from AIDS to Wheelchair Users.
