More charges and lawsuits are being filed against employers for disability accommodation, denial of leave, and retaliation than any other area of employment law. This growth in claims is due in part to the ADA Amendments Act and the EEOC’s aggressive coverage and enforcement of disability-related claims, as well as the continuing complexities of the FMLA. Add to that Texas laws on workers’ comp retaliation and the special federal rights given to returning Reservists, and you have a confusing and convoluted recipe for disaster.
