For those familiar with this column, it comes as no surprise that the most predominant topic over the years has been the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). It really has become our favorite topic to write about. In fact, our very first article in The Legal in 2009 was titled “Ushering in a New Era under the ADA Amendments Act.”

In the last month, however, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has provided some much needed guidance that addresses the rights of employees with disabilities who seek leave as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA. The document is titled “Employer-Provided Leave and the Americans with Disabilities Act.” This may just be the long-awaited guidance that employers have been clamoring for.
