The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), signed into law in July 1990, is a civil rights law that bars discrimination against people with disabilities in jobs, schools, transportation and places open to the public. This 90-minute ADA compliance training explains what it means for employers.
You'll cover Titles I through V and the agencies that enforce them, key definitions, major life activities, and which conditions are and aren't disabilities. The session explains the accommodation process, reasonable accommodation and its limits, and keeping production and performance standards for employees with disabilities.
It also covers service animals, fragrance sensitivity, website guidelines, marijuana and the ADA, HR's role, federal and state law, recordkeeping and posting requirements, and proposed changes to the ADA.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
ADA non-compliance can be costly, with penalties that can run to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Accommodating disabilities is also a visible part of ethical business practice.
This session helps senior leaders, HR managers, managers, supervisors, team leaders, compliance and operations professionals and employees understand the accommodation process, how federal and state laws interact, and the consequences of non-compliance.
