Summary
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has issued its long-awaited final regulations interpreting the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (the ADAAA). In this webinar, we examine the new regulations, discuss the real impact for California employers, and offer practical tips for compliance. Topics we will cover include:
- How to analyze when an employee is substantially limited in the major life activity of "working";
- Common conditions that will consistently qualify as disabilities;
- When "mitigating measures" can and can't be considered in evaluating whether an employee is disabled;
- The expansion of "regarded as" protections;
- How surgical interventions can be relevant in determining whether a disability exists; and
- When temporary impairments can amount to covered disabilities.
