McGinnis Speaks to ADA Claims

Charlotte Employment & Labor Member Karin McGinnis was quoted in Employment Alert’s article “Are your job descriptions ADA-ready?”  The piece addresses how job descriptions can either help or hurt companies in relation to Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) claims. 

“’Including something in a job description doesn't automatically make it essential.  You need to look at the reasons why the job exists,’” McGinnis stated.
