Womble Carlyle to Hold Employer Breakfast Briefings on New ADA Amendments

Is your business ready for the new ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA)? The amendments take effect January 1st and will significantly broaden the scope of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

These changes likely will result in increased requests for accommodations for employees with disabilities. The amendments also likely will lead to increased litigation, particularly for employers who do not have an effective strategy in place to respond to these new changes.

Womble Carlyle will be holding two workshops in the Triad to help employers understand and adjust to the amendments. The workshops are as scheduled:

Greensboro

7:30a.m.-9 a.m.

Breakfast will be provided at both workshops. There is no charge to attend, but seating is limited and registration is required. Please register by Thursday, Nov. 13th.
