AHI’s Job Descriptions & Interview Questions Sourcebook Will Help You To
Avoid Legal Traps Set By The ADA, The FMLA, And Other Employment Laws.
According to many employment law attorneys, the passage of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 will result in a surge of disability-related lawsuits, unless organizations change their current procedures for handling employees with impairments. The new law changes the current focus on whether an employee has a qualified disability to whether the organization has explored whether an accommodation will allow an employee to perform the essential duties of their position.
“Reviewing your job descriptions is one of the first steps you need to take now to get in compliance with the new ADA,” according to Charles P. Stevens, employment law attorney and partner in the law firm Michael Best & Friedrich LLC.
He also believes that job descriptions that are developed in compliance with the regulatory standards set by the EEOC will offer employers increased protection in both circumventing and defending against employee lawsuits.
AHI has created a time-saving resource to ensure that your job descriptions help you defend against a claim instead of helping a plaintiff's attorney...AHI’s Job Descriptions & Interview Questions Sourcebook.
This resource gives you more than just a set of job descriptions. It also gives you a complete set of job-specific interview questions and job advertisements to help you attract and hire the most qualified persons for your organizations.
This invaluable resource will help you and your managers to:
- save time rewriting the essential job functions required by the new ADA amendments, effective January 1, 2009,
- attract the right candidates,
- define the qualifications needed to evaluate résumés,
- ask the best interview questions (and not ask illegal ones),
- avoid class action lawsuits that often arise when jobs are misclassified as exempt from overtime by helping you to classify your employees correctly, and
- ensure that all of your managers are on the same page when conducting performance appraisals.
Most job description products don't include all of the components that you need to fully stay in compliance. Our program does. All of the work is already done for you. You just pick the position you need to fill, make any changes to fit your organization's specific requirements, and you've got a job description, interview guide, and overtime pay analysis that will help you avoid ADA, FMLA, and FLSA lawsuits.
For each of the over 200 job titles that are included on the CD, you'll receive the following components:
- A pre-written job description that allows you to designate the essential duties for that position in order to comply with the ADA and the proposed FMLA regulations.
- A series of interview questions that are tailored specifically for that position and will elicit the responses you need to weed out the weak candidates.
- A ready-to-be-placed job advertisement to help attract the most qualified candidates.
- An analysis as to whether the position should be classified as exempt or non-exempt to avoid overtime pay liabilities.
