WC Mastery Training Course
how TO COORDINATE ADA COMPLIANCE with Return to work best practices
Available On Demand
The Americans with Disabilities Act and Workers’ Compensation are two separate and distinct laws. However, the best practices of ADA compliance and workers’ compensation return to work are often synergistic and complimentary.
What is More Important to Your Workers' Comp Program? Signage? Band-Aids?... Or Reducing Costs 20-50% and Improving Injured Worker Outcomes?
The question above is rhetorical.
Of course, the answer is "reducing costs and improving injured worker outcomes."
But they don't have to be mutually exclusive. You can have comprehensive safety signage and on-site medical facilities AND LOWER WC COST AND IMPROVED INJURY OUTCOMES.
Just ask any of the hundreds of risk managers, business owners, and brokers who improved their skills with our training―and then improved their bottom lines and their injured worker outcomes.
Clearly, they've all learned the secrets of the experience modification factor and have leveraged these tools to create a best-in-class Workers' Compensation program.
In fact, by implementing the strategies and tactics taught in the Amaxx WC Training Center―based on 30+ years of top-level risk management experience―our students are able to minimize WC expenses and maximize employee safety, health, and productivity.
And we'll show you in this foundational workshop exactly how they've done it and how you can do the same for your business.
Here's What You'll Learn...
The interpretation and application of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) is often confusing and overwhelming. In this session you will learn from Senior Attorney Advisor of the EEOC, Aaron Konopasky, on interpretations of this law in workers’ compensation, and how to coordinate return to work best practices with ADA compliance.
Course Preview
Introduction
Staying in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act can be an intimidating proposition, and something many employers would prefer to avoid altogether. However, the ADA is an important civil rights law which protects people against discrimination on the basis of disability.
Beyond the ADA, which was passed in 1990, is the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act (ADAAA.) The ADAAA expanded the definition of disability, greatly increasing the number of individuals protected under this law.
This book covers the best practices of ADA compliance and how to coordinate these with workers’ compensation return to work for injured employees.
Section 2: Coordinate Return to Work with ADA Compliance
The Americans with Disabilities Act and Workers’ Compensation are two separate and distinct laws. However, the best practices of ADA compliance and workers’ compensation return to work are often synergistic and complimentary.
This section covers the overlap and coordination of these two laws.
Section 1: Demystify the ADA and Reasonable Accommodation
While the ADA can be an intimidating law, understanding and implementing the fundamental best practices does not have to be overly complex. As workers’ compensation professionals, it is important to understand that many return to work best practices are complementary and synergistic with ADA compliance.
Section 3: How Should I Handle This?
The goal of this book is to break down ADA and return to work concepts, so they are less complicated and difficult to understand. However, there are scenarios where a situation with the ADA is complicated or gray.
This section covers the answers to common difficult scenarios.
