Last month, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced that it was seeking “public input on potential revisions to the regulations implementing Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.” That Act governs employment of individuals with disabilities by the federal government, and was the Americans with Disabilities Act’s precursor. Without explanation, the Rehabilitation Act’s regulations impose an obligation on federal agencies to be “model employers” of individuals with disabilities; the EEOC is seeking to revise those regulations to provide a detailed explanation of that “model employer” obligation.
On the heels of that news, 10 of the 22 lawsuits filed or settlements reached by the EEOC in May included allegations of disability discrimination. That’s a .455 batting average for the ADA, which is none too shabby in anyone’s book. Some of the issues addressed by the EEOC in the past month include:
Unless you have answered “yes” to each of these important questions, your business is exposed to potential disability-discrimination issues. Considering how closely the EEOC is looking at these issues, is this risk is one your business wants to take?
