The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) was enacted in 2008 to expand the scope of coverage and protections offered to individuals under the original ADA. One impact of the amendments is to place greater responsibility on employers to provide “reasonable accommodations” for a wider range of employees than under the original ADA. Making accommodations is not only compliant, but good business too. For every dollar invested in workplace accommodations, employers receive about $10 in return benefits including increased worker productivity and saved costs associated with training a new employee.1
