Each day, across America, hundreds of workers’ compensation, new hire, return to work, and stay at work medical examinations are conducted by occupational therapists, physical therapists, ergonomists, and medical doctors. A handful of these examinations will rely on data from a job description or job analysis. And most of these post-offer tests, functional capacity evaluations, physical capacity evaluations, and job analyses will NOT comply with the demands of Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Federal court interpretation of Title I of the amended ADA (search on: 42 U.S.C. § 12112 (d) medical examination and inquiries) is the foundation each one of us needs to understand if we are in the business of providing work ability information to those making hiring, retention, and return to work decisions for individuals who are seeking employment or who are job attached. Yesterday’s practices of functional capacity evaluation and post-offer testing are an open invitation to a plaintiff-driven charge of employment discrimination.

This 6-hour online course has been designed to save your practice from inadvertent violations of federal, and, in some cases, state employment discrimination law.
