The guide begins with an overview and discussion of the original Rehabilitation Act and its structure, including affirmative action aspects and non–affirmative action requirements, and explains Americans with Disabilities Act standards and their applicability to Rehabilitation Act cases. It continues with an extensive legislative history that traces development of disability discrimination law through the 1972 Drug Abuse Act, Rehabilitation Act, ADA, and other statutes and regulations.
The Second Edition contains even more information on the Rehabilitation Act and ADA as applied to federal sector employment by the EEOC. With an emphasis on reasonable accommodation, this title contains detailed chapters on physical and mental impairments, major life activities, substantial limitations, and qualified individuals with disabilities. Also covered is an examination of the evidence agencies need to support a claim of undue hardship and a good faith defense. Details of medical examinations and inquiries during the preemployment, post-offer, and post-employment stages is explored as well.
This title dissects the law developed by EEOC regarding disability discrimination, with emphasis on the following major categories: proof of disability; stress disorders; causation; disqualifying misconduct; risk assessment and the violent or threatening employee; reassignments, job rotation, and job modifications; light-duty; drug use and safe haven provisions; last chance agreements; demotion; training requirements; relationship between accommodation, disability retirement, and receipt of worker's compensation benefits; impact of collective bargaining agreements; involuntary retirement or resignation claims; forced leave; and damages.
