About this playbook
The ADA is one of the most valuable and most intimidating laws an employer deals with after an injury. This playbook sets out who the law covers, how essential functions and reasonable accommodation are defined, and where undue hardship applies. It simplifies the interactive process, compares the sequence of accommodation under the ADA and return to work, and covers separation decisions when no accommodation works.
You will be able to
- Identify who the ADA covers and define essential functions
- Apply reasonable accommodation and undue hardship correctly
- Run the interactive process step by step
- Sequence ADA accommodation alongside your return to work protocol
- Handle separation when no reasonable accommodation can be found
