The ADA and Disability Law
video gives you practical, step-by-step guidelines for complying with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. It also helps train your managers
to overcome stereotypes so they can interview and hire disabled individuals
without bias or discrimination. It shows managers how to supervise disabled
employees and develop reasonable accommodations that fit both the individual and
the job.
KEY
LEARNING POINTS INCLUDE:
- Defining disability.
- Legal obligations and
procedures.
- Who is covered.
- Medical issues and
exams.
- Job descriptions and
essential job functions.
- Proper documentation.
- Hiring and supervision.
The Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 not only helps you avoid discrimination and legal
liability, it also helps you expand your applicant pool, so that you can hire
the best. This program will teach managers and supervisors to:
-
Follow the standards set by
the law.
-
Use correct and effective
interviewing procedures.
-
Accommodate employees with
disabilities.
-
Monitor legal compliance.
Employees with disabilities
generally have lower absenteeism and accident rates than other employees. They
tend to be rated "good" to "excellent" in job performance. An openness to hiring
such employees helps you meet legal requirements and expands your employee base
to include potentially valuable individuals.
