My Disability Made Me Do It!

SHRM 2011 Annual Conference
This session will inform you on how to discipline workplace misconduct without violating the ADA.

A growing number of courts are holding that it is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act for an employer to discipline or terminate an employee for misconduct that is related to a disability.
