Disability Discrimination
Although the overall number of individuals in the workforce has declined charges of discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) have been on the rise for the last four years. In 2009, American businesses paid out more than sixty seven million dollars in monetary benefits to workers of these lawsuits. Many of these cases were brought forth due to a lack of workplace accommodation. With these types of court judgments, it is in every company’s best interest to make sure that they are following all of the requisite procedures when dealing with job accommodations for disabled employees in the workplace. And the definition of disability has been expanded, so it is even more important to rely on experts in the field to safeguard your company’s standing.
