ADA and Return-to-Work Best Practices Webinar / Tues Mar 24 @ 11am EDT

February 26, 2015 By //  by Senior Editor Leave a Comment

On Tues March 24 @ 11am EDT, prepare for a surprise or two as a group of experts discuss how some common practices in workers’ compensation violate both the spirit and the law of the ADA, as amended in 2009. The webinar will also clarify what employers who want to abide by the spirit as well as the letter of the ADA should be doing. Injured workers with significant medical restrictions are likely to meet the expanded definition of people with newly-acquired disabilities — whose jobs should be protected. This free, one-hour webinar will feature Amaxx Risk Solutions’ Rebecca Shafer, Webility Corp’s Jennifer Christian MD, EEOC’s Aaron Konopasky, Amaxx Risk Solutions’ Michael Stack, and Advisen’s David Bradford as panelists. They will answer audience questions as time permits during a Q&A period.

This webinar is part of a series that expands on content contained in THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO LOWERING WORKERS COMP COSTS, a $249 soft-cover book available via http://shop.wcmanual.com/products/ultimate-guide-to-mastering-workers-compensation-cost
