Since 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act has made it "unlawful to discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability" in hiring and other employment-related activities. The Act further states that it is illegal to discriminate against a qualified job applicant "because of the individual's family, business, social or other relationship or association with an individual with a disability."
The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 is effective as of January 1, 2009, and will change interpretation of the Act. Is your organization compliant? How often do you review for adherence? Should periodic training be conducted? What impact could this requirement have on your candidate flow? We'll cover these questions and more in this webcast.
