DoL Launches Disability Law Web Site

May 5, 2010 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) has unveiled a new Web site designed to help employers make sure their policies and practices do not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities.  
Reported by

The interactive, online Disability Nondiscrimination Law Advisor helps employers determine which federal disability nondiscrimination laws apply to their business or organization and their responsibilities under them.

It asks users to answer a few relevant questions and then generates a customized list of federal disability nondiscrimination laws that likely apply, along with information about employers’ responsibilities under each of them, according to a DoL news release.

The Disability Nondiscrimination Advisor is one of a series of elaws (Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small Businesses) advisors developed by DoL to help employers and employees understand federal employment laws. 

The new disability law site is at http://www.dol.gov/elaws/odep.htm.
