Description

This work presents a comprehensive analysis of the new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), one of the most significant federal civil rights law in almost 30 years, and its impact on millions of American businesses, state and local governments, nonprofit associations, 87 per cent of America's private sector jobs, and 22.7 million working-age people with disabilities. Written by two Washington-based experts on the new federal mandate, this book provides an analysis of all employment and accessibility final regulations for businesses, managers and employers. The book offers the social, economic and legislative background of the new law and is based on interviews with federal officials, business leaders, authors of the legislation, and leaders in the disability community. Case histories and Congressional reports and testimony are utilised to illustrate new hiring, interviewing, testing and reasonable accommodation procedures in the workplace. The book features chapters on how to interview and work with people with disabilities, how to develop a compliance plan; and for employers and human resource managers, how to make necessary changes in benefits, job descriptions, workplace accessibility, and in hiring and promoting people with disabilities.
