Record Setting ADA Settlement Impacts Workers' Compensation

The $6.2 million American's With Disabilities Act (ADA) settlement between Sears & Roebuck Company, Inc. (Sears) and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on September 29, 2009 opened the door to active ADA involvement in workers' compensation claims for all U.S. companies.  The EEOC's September 29, 2009 press release is attached along with a legal analysis from Hays Companies' Associate Director Research & Compliance to explain the facts of the EEOC's class action lawsuit against Sears, understand the impact of the settlement to U.S. employers and what employers should do.  Please don't hesitate to call your Hays Companies' representative with questions or to engage our expert assistance.
