Effective January 1st, 2009, all businesses with 15 or more employees must comply with the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA), which amended the anti-discrimination provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Among other provisions, the amendment overturns recent Supreme Court decisions and expands the definition of “disability” to allow more job applicants and employees than ever before to receive coverage under the law’s protections.

Failure to abide by the provisions of the ADA and the ADAAA can result in penalties and damages up to $50,000 per complaint during an investigation or lawsuit.

To help businesses with 15 or more employees meet their obligations under the new amendment, adhere to EEOC guidelines, and prevent costly lawsuits, Personnel Concepts has developed an easy-to-implement ADA Amendments Act Compliance Kit.

Our exclusive kit includes a plain language summary of the new amendments, details on the EEOC’s revised ADA policies, plain language guidance on current issues (such as cancer, epilepsy, deafness and blindness), documentation forms, training handouts for supervisors and managers, and an 11” x 17” policy poster. This turnkey compliance solution includes all of the tools and information you need to ensure compliance with the ADA Amendments Act and the major provisions of the ADA itself.

• 25 Job Accomodation Request Forms
• A 70-page guidebook with the complete text of the law, plain language guidance, and FAQs
• 25 Disability Discrimination Training Handouts
