While employment law is continually intersecting with HR, few laws are as vexing and challenging as the Americans with Disabilities Act. Ever changing case law decisions, fact pattern nuances, and expanding coverage under the law are just a few of the reasons why the ADA is so unique. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the changes in the way the law is applied and practical tips on handling some of the most frequent challenges faced by HR professionals.
