Complying With the New ADA: What Federal Agencies Need to Know
Gary Gilbert, Director, Federal Employment Law Training Group, Attorney, Former EEOC Chief AJ
Ernest Hadley, Director, Federal Employment Law Training Group, Attorney, Author

Expert guidance from Gilbert and Hadley

In its introduction to the new ADA, Congress states its intent that "the primary object of attention in cases brought under the ADA should be whether entities covered under the ADA have complied with their obligations" and that "the question of whether an individual's impairment is a disability under the ADA should not demand extensive analysis."

How can your agency be sure it complies with the
EEOC's just-released proposed regulations?

Join federal employment law experts and attorneys Gary Gilbert and Ernest Hadley as they clarify the intent and purpose of the new ADA and provide solid guidance on accommodating employees with disabilities in the federal workplace. You'll gain a firm understanding of the scope of the new law, including how to apply the broadened protection afforded to those "regarded as" having a disability and when it is not required to provide reasonable accommodation to individuals newly covered under the ADA.

Plus, Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Hadley will also explore changes to key provisions, including how the new law now defines:

              •    An individual with a disability

              •    Major life activities

              •    Substantial limitation

              •    Significantly restricted

What's more, you'll get expert advice on how to effectively deal with performance and conduct issues presented by employees with disabilities, plus the opportunity to get answers to your specific questions.

$275 per site when you register by July 7th, $295 thereafter. Unlimited participants at your location!
