In this session, we will explore how the EEOC and the courts are analyzing disability discrimination cases in the wake of the ADA Amendments Act.
Covered employers are required to comply with the nondiscrimination and reasonable accommodation provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended. We will discuss the agency’s groundbreaking challenges to common employer policies, such as fi xed leave policies and no-fault attendance policies. You will learn about the EEOC’s revised ADA regulations and the earliest court cases interpreting the “new” ADA. Clements will also discuss the EEOC’s enforcement priorities in the area of disability discrimination law as well as the agency’s recent challenges to common employer policies under the ADA.
