Americans with Disabilities Act workshop scheduled, Sept. 30, Chicago
The National Employment Law Institute (NELI) will present its 2009 Americans with Disabilities Act Workshop in Chicago, on September 30, 2009. This one-day limited enrollment interactive Workshop focuses on ADA workplace developments, including significant court cases, EEOC's latest policies, and the impact of the ADA Amendment Act and the groundbreaking new interpretations set forth in the EEOC's June 2009 proposed regulations on this issue. Topics covered include who is "an individual with a disability," "qualified," "direct threat," enforcing conduct rules, "reasonable accommodation," and examinations of applicants and incumbents, with featured sessions analyzing hypothetical cases and the latest "checklists" for analyzing and documenting ADA issues.
The conference will take place in Chicago, Illinois at the Four Seasons Hotel on September 30, 2009. The registration fee for NELI's 2000 Americans With Disabilities Act Workshop is $495.00, but an early discounted rate may be available. Online registration and a copy of the conference brochure are available on NELI's website at http://www.neli.org. You can also telephone NELI at (303) 861-5600.
The past year was filled with dramatic ADA developments. Most importantly, on January 1, 2009, the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) took effect, vastly expanding the definition of what is a “disability” under the law. Among other things, the ADAAA changed the definition of “substantially limits,” reversed the major U.S. Supreme Court decisions concerning whether an individual should be analyzed with medication or mitigating measures, and greatly expanded those situations when an employer has “regarded” an individual as disabled.
Over the past year, courts have also refined, clarified, and, in some cases, provided entirely new and different approaches on the ADA's definitions and obligations. At this year’s Workshop, we will be discussing hundreds of practical workplace issues.
Participants will receive the Twenty-Seventh Edition of "Resolving ADA Workplace Questions," an unparalleled research and reference workbook. This Workshop will provide between 6.5-7.8 CLE/CEU credit hours, depending upon the jurisdiction.
