Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Amendments Act of 2008, changes were effective January 1, 2009. The Act applies to employers with 15 or more employees. The ADAAA is the most sweeping change to the ADA in the past decade, as it redefines who is considered “disable” under the ADA, and thus will potentially lead to a larger population of “disabled” employees seeking accommodations and a larger number of employees who claim they were “regarded as” disabled in disparate treatment claims.
If you need assistance intrepreting these changes and the actions you need to take to be compliant with the Act, please feel free to contact me at TheWhitfordGroup@aol.com.
