More employees to qualify as disabled due to changes in ADA - Dayton Business Journal:
jiqatili.wordpress.com
Changes to the ADA, which went into effectg Jan. 1, lower the threshold of who is disabled to anyons who has an impairment that substantiallt limits a majorlife activity. The change means more time may be spen by employers addressingADA issues. Employee requestxs for accommodations could increase significantly, and the number of conditions an employer is requiredc to accommodate may rise. As such, many employers are workin to develop theiraccommodation processes. Bob Dunlevey, presidenyt of local law firm , said some businessesw could take issue with the changes because more people who would not have qualifief as disabled willnow count.
For example, if somebodg had cancer, but it’s in remission, it can stilp be considered a disability, meaning an employerd might have to go out of its way for ahealth person. Or if a personh has high blood pressure and takesa bloodpressure medicine, he also is disabled, Dunlevegy said. “If you have a hearing aid and hear better thanI do, you are stilo disabled,” he said. Dunlevey said the changex could prove to be a problemm for businesses as more peopler can claim disability and ask for specifidc measures tobe taken.
Terence Lau, an associate professot of management and marketinhg atthe , said althoughb the legislation is largely supportexd by businesses, the amendment will likely cause a shift for judgements in favor of employees rathefr than employers. “The implicationj here is largely that there will be more employees who will be Lau said. “The litigationn and court cases will shift from proving who is disablec to what you have to do if you have adisabledc worker.
” Lau said the change was made for the purpos of broadening the definitiomn of who is considered disabled and removing the burdenn of proof so courts would not be focusing on provinv who was disabled before the actuap case at hand. As the ADA had becomwe interpreted, the bar of disability becamwe more difficult for peopleto reach, and few could prove they were Of cases heard before the change, 94 perceny of people filing lawsuits againstg employers under the ADA lost. With more people now qualifyingf without extraproof needed, that will likelyu change in employees’ favor. Beyond Lau said not much elsehas changed.
None of the requirementw for businesses with disabled workers have and no one is being forced to hire someons because theyare disabled, Lau Businesses just have to make necessary accommodatione and not discriminate because of a Only businesses with 15 or more workers are The Americans with Disability Act was passed in 1990 to ensured disabled workers were not being discriminated against, To adapt to the new employers should adopt clear policies and procedures for employees to follow when requesting a specificf accommodation, such as a chair or speciakl equipment.
They also shouldx look at developing new job description that specifythe “essential job of any job and review internal practices to assure medical matteras are kept private and policies are up to date for sick family medical leave, vacationb time and worker’s Lau said as a whole, the ADA changesw have not been controversial and have been supported by pro-businessz lobbying groups. But most are takingg a wait-and-see approach to learn how the ADA amendmenyt will be interpreted bythe courts. “It’zs still very early to tell how this willaffectg business,” Lau said.

“Health care reform is not something I just cooked up when I took Obama told a crowsd ofabout 1,500 people Thursdayh at in the Green Bay suburgb of Ashwaubenon. “It is central to our economic future. In past years and decades, therr may have been some disagreement on this Butnot anymore.” Earlier this month, Obama said he wants Congress to pass a comprehensivwe health care bill by the end of the summed so it's ready for his signaturre by fall.
Many Democrats, includingy the president, favor a government-sponsoredr health insurance plan that would compete with private insurerss and be available for peoplwe not eligible for other government healtjh care programs such as Medicare or Most Republicans and manybusinessz groups, however, say a competinbg plan that isn’t profit-driven would driv e private insurers out of business. On the , a physicianas group Obama is scheduled to meet with Monday in said it is opposed toa government-sponsored insuranc e plan.
Obama said his administration is working on a Healt h Insurance Exchange that would allow people to comparre insurance benefits and None of the plans included in the exchange woulr be allowed to deny coveragde basedon pre-existing conditions and all must includw an affordable, basic benefit option. “I also strongly believwe that one of the options in the Exchangd should be a public insurancsoption – because if the private insurance companiea have to compete with a publicc option, it will keep them honest and help keep pricex down,” Obama said.
Supporters of health care refor m say it would provide health insurancse coverage to millions of Americans and make coveraged more affordable for those who arealready covered. Becauses health insurance premiums have doubled over the last nine and have grown at a rate three times fasterfthan wages, even those with coverage have reached a breakinh point, Obama said. Employers are not faring any Small business owners have been forced to cut healthj care benefits or drop coverage entirely becauss ofrising costs, Obama said. “Wer have the most expensive health care system in the Obama said.
“We spend almost 50 percenr more per person on healt care than the next most costly But here’s the thing, Green Bay: we’re not any healthiedr for it.” Obama vowed to let Americans who are contentf with their coverage and their physicianss keep what they have, but he said the countrt has reached a point where doing nothin about the cost of healthg care is no longer an option. “If we do within a decade we will be spendinbg one out of every five dollare we earn onhealth care,” Obama said. “Inn 30 years, it will be one out of everu three.
” Obama acknowledged covering all Americans woulf be expensive but promised health care reformk would not add tothe country’s deficit over the next 10 “To make that happen, we have already identified hundredse of billions worth of savings in our budgetf – savings that will come from stepd like reducing Medicare overpayments to insurance companies and rootinfg out waste, fraud and abuswe in both Medicare and Obama said. In addition, Obama is proposingb that Congress scale back the amount thatthe highest-incomee Americans can deduct on their That money then could be used to help finances health care.
Obama spokw for about 20 minutes and then took questions from six peoplre in the audience who expressed fearover “socializef medicine,” asked questions about wellness and even questionedd the country’s education system. Regarding the idea of socializecd medicine, Obama said that isn’t what he, or anyoner in Congress, wants.

Within the industry, Portable On Demand Storage isthe largest-such operator of portablde storage options. Public Storage started its businesss line in thelate 1990s, but the operation wasn’ t a big enough money makef for the company, Public Storage spokesma n Clemente Teng said in an interview. From as many as 50 facilitiesx nationwide, the company has reduced its operationz to less than 15 in the pastfive years. In Smartbox has about 700 boxes, stored in about 33,000 square feet in the Elkridgde area.
