Accommodation Information by Limitation
By Guest Blogger Linda Carter Batiste, J.D., Principal Consultant, Job Accommodation Network (JAN)
It’s been several years now since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Amendments Act went into effect and many employers finally are heeding the Act’s main message: stop spending so much time determining whether an employee meets the definition of disability and instead focus on providing effective workplace accommodations. In fact, some employers have taken this message a step further and are leaving the disability determination out of the equation altogether when possible and just focusing on the limitation that is causing the problem. For employers who want to do the same, the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) recently launched a new section on its website called “Accommodation Information by Limitation A-Z.”
