Ada/Worker's Comp Explain Your Experience

ADA/Worker's Comp Explain your experience overseeing, evaluating, managing and monitoring ADA compliance efforts and dealing with employees who are qualified under the Americans with Disability Act. At the telecom company where I work as a sales representative, all employees, regardless of position, are required to be familiar with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Information on the act is included as part of the company's orientation materials, and we are also encouraged to learn more about the act on its official website (http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/reachingout/lesson11.htm).The act requires that all prospective and current employees are not discriminated against, if they have a disability (either temporary, like a broken leg, or permanent, like only being able to walk with an aid) that does not impede their ability to do their designated job.

All employees are encouraged to be vigilant in ensuring that company facilities are in compliance with the act, and to embrace an attitude of tolerance towards difference is an important part of the overall company philosophy of inclusiveness. The company also strives to make reasonable accommodations for all of its disabled workers, such as ensuring that a sales representative has a vehicle he or she can operate, if he or she is in a wheelchair.

If a sales representative has a problem maneuvering his or her wheelchair in certain office spaces, it might be necessary to call the company he or she is dealing with, to see if there is another way of accessing the building. A sales representative's major responsibility, of course, is dealing with customers. Also, so long as a business does not have to make a fundamental alteration in the goods and services offers to non-disabled customers, it must comply with the act.

The ADA asks businesses to make reasonable modifications to accommodate customers who have disabilities on its facilities as well as employees. Question 2: Explain your experience with Workers' Compensation Worker's compensation awards are given to employees who are injured or disabled on the job. For example, as a sales representative, if I were to slip on a slick office floor while representing the company, I would be entitled to worker's compensation while I was unable to come to work while my broken leg was being treated.

Then, my physical therapy should also be accommodated by my work schedule and medical bills and physical therapy related to my injury would be covered as well. Whenever there is an accident at work, employees are required to fill out an accident report. This is in case they decide to file for worker's compensation, so details of the accident can be recorded at the moment that it occurs, to ensure accuracy and fairness to the employer and the employee.

This is in case the nature of the accident becomes a point of contention. A person of some authority in the company like a supervisor or manager is usually immediately contacted when there is an accident. There are certain basic conditions that must.
