An expert in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), Rachel Shaw is the foremost executive-level human resources compliance trainer in the country. As principal of Shaw HR Consulting for more than 15 years, she has helped thousands of public and private sector employers to manage their most challenging personnel issues related to disability compliance, leave management, and workers' compensation. Now, with "The Disabled Workforce," Rachel has written the book on ADA compliance, using straight talk to clarify confusing and complicated disability discrimination laws, while revealing her signature methods for managing the disability interactive process and its many challenges, including leave management, discipline issues, mental disabilities, fraudulent claims, and more. Inside are practical tools and easy-to-follow strategies for employers who navigate the interconnected roles of human resources, workers' compensation, and disability compliance. By applying Rachel's revolutionary Disability Interactive Process Hallway(TM), your organization will pinpoint legitimate accommodation requests and develop creative solutions while weeding out inappropriate claims.
