Earlier this week, I beat Ohio lawyer Jon Hyman to the punch on a post about Leap Day. Yesterday, he “returned” the favor, with a notable post on the release of the EEOC’s new guide: Veterans & the ADA: A Guide for Employers.
Jon looks at one issue from the guide, whether employers can give preference in hiring to a veteran with a disability. (The answer is yes, according to the EEOC.)
I would recommend reading the guide in general too. There are lots of other questions that it provides guidance on such as:
-
May an employer ask if an applicant is a “disabled veteran” if it is seeking to hire someone with a disability? (Yes, says the EEOC.)
-
What types of reasonable accommodations may veteranswith disabilities need for the application process or during employment? (Perhaps written materials in accessible formats, tests held in accessible locations, etc.)
