Description: Must employers make web-based employment information and services accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities? Join Bobby Silverstein for a discussion of how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to accessible workplace technology. In particular, this webinar will highlight relevant policy developments such as
The current Department of Justice (DOJ) open comment period regarding their Supplemental Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SANPM) proposed accessibility requirements for online services, programs, and activities provided to the public by state and local governments–including many employment-related tools and resources; and
Settlement agreements between DOJ and employers and other covered entities.
