AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES JOB DESCRIPTIONS

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) job descriptions are developed on-site at client company locations that cover all aspects required by the ADA.  The primary use for ADA job descriptions is to help ensure compliance with the ADA regulations concerning hiring of associates.

However, they can have an even greater impact on:

·         Helping improve the hiring and selection process by by giving applicants a clearer understanding of the physical demands of the job prior to them taking the job.

·         A company's medical management plan.  Company management should always have the employee's treating doctor review the employee's job description and physical demands of the job prior to allowing an employee to return to their job.

Job descriptions can also be developed for different types of restricted duty jobs so they can be ready to be reviewed by the treating doctor if the employee cannot return to their previous position.
