Even without legislation, the trend is expected to continue, according to Rachael Luzietti, an attorney with DiMuroGinsberg, PC, in Alexandria, Virginia. “This type of legislation is likely to continue expanding, eventually reaching many private employers,” she says. “That’s not to say that employers will not be able to inquire into an applicant’s criminal history, just that they will not be able to do so until much later in the screening process.”

Veterans offer advice, encouragement and many benefits to employers.
Bill Ruhling, a former JAG attorney, says that leaders at all levels in the military learn to follow first and then to lead. “In this way, they learn to fit into the best aspects of an organization’s culture and work within that framework to accomplish the task effectively and efficiently.”
As many veterans enter the civilian workforce, employers often actively recruit those applicants with military experience because of the skills that they have developed as service members. In this regard, employers need to be aware of the legal requirements related to employing or re-employing veterans. An article addressing these issues, in which DiMuroGinsberg attorney Bill Ruhling is quoted, appears in the October 18, 2015 issue of HR Hero, published by Business & Legal Resources.

Mook, in an article entitled, “Moving Toward the Latest Trend in Office Design?

Join Jonathan Mook on November 18 for the live webinar “ADA Accommodation Litigation: Employee Requests for Telecommuting, Reassignment, Predictable Shifts and More”
The EEOC recently announced its intention to strengthen enforcement of the ADA. Coupled with a greatly expanded scope of disability resulting from the ADA Amendments Act, employers face an increase in employee requests for disability-based accommodations.
Employers’ denials of requests for accommodations—such as telecommuting arrangements, predictable work shifts and reassignment—have resulted in litigation and EEOC enforcement action, and courts are increasingly ruling in favor of employees.
Jonathan joins a panel of leading employment authorities who will provide employment counsel with a review of recent court rulings arising from employers’ denial of requests for accommodation under the ADA. The panel will discuss decisions covering telecommuting, predictable work shifts, reassignments and other accommodations, and outline ways employers can minimize and defend against claims after requests for accommodation are denied.
Contact Jonathan at jmook@dimuro.com or 703-684-4333 for discounted registration.
Now that the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) is in effect, it is much easier for an individual to demonstrate that his or her medical condition rises to the level of a covered disability. The question now will be: Is the person qualified? Jonathan Mook answers your questions in brief here.
