Summary:
The first changes to the ADA in fifteen years went into effect last year and more have been made since then. Are you up to date?

This guide breaks apart these two topics so you understand who qualifies, reasons for leave, reasonable accommodation, length of leave, notifications and documentation, enforcement, and much MORE! Because these laws are so complex, we’ve written this manual without perplexing legal jargon; everyone can use this authoritative guide. Contains more than 183 pages, 23 chapters, and 12 pages of easy-to-use indexed entries. Written by attorneys at Ford & Harrison LLP.
