DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: Tuesday April 19\, 2016 at 12:30 - 2:00 ET\n\nLocat
 ion: Webinar\n\nDescription: In the past few years\, we've seen the numb
 er of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charges for disabilit
 y discrimination increase sharply. And\, we've seen a sharp increase in li
 tigation regarding disability cases. Why?\n\nThe ADA Amendments Act\, made
  official in 2011\, has essentially "opened the flood gates" for disabilit
 y claims\, as the definition of "disability" is far different from what it
  used to be. And\, in many instances\, employers must grant reasonable acc
 ommodations to pregnant women.\n\nToday\, the American with Disabilities A
 ct (ADA) is particularly complicated for supervisors and managers who must
  interact with employees every day\, to set performance and behavioural ex
 pectations. And\, HR professionals must act as the internal consultants to
  advise managers on issues related to poor performing employees\, which of
 ten are intertwined with disability and reasonable accommodation issues.\n
 \nTo learn about your compliance obligations\, in easy-to-understand (non-
 lawyer lingo) you won't want to miss this audio program. Seasoned HR Consu
 ltant and Educator\, Natalie Ivey\, will walk you through your compliance
  obligations and provide practical guidance on what you need to do to comp
 ly with the ADA and how to handle the challenging issues involving workers
  who become pregnant and may need accommodations. \n\nTraining Objective\
