Get Legal Help to Comply with ADA Laws

As an employer, it’s important to understand how the ADA impacts your hiring process and the operation of your business. Here are the business owner basics.

• Title I of the ADA applies to private employers with 15 or more employees
• Employers are prohibited from discriminating against people with disabilities in hiring, paying, promoting or training
• You must make reasonable work accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities

If you have a general question about ADA compliance, are facing an employee claim, or have been sued, join LegalShield today.

Creating ADA-compliant hiring processes, employee policy documentation, and making ADA-compliant job accommodations can seem overwhelming, and you may have questions.

• Is my business covered by the employment provisions of the ADA?
• What qualifies as a disability under the ADA?
• What constitutes reasonable accommodation in my line of work?
• What is protected under the ADA?

Small business plans from LegalShield allow you to seek advice from a provider lawyer, have them review employment documents, discuss your hiring processes, and have them write a letter on behalf of your business to help you stay on the right side of the law.

Failing to comply with the directives of the ADA puts your business at risk for potential legal claims. If a job applicant or employee files an ADA lawsuit or complaint, having access to a provider lawyer is critical to understanding the deadlines and preparing a response.
