Anne Yuengert Quoted in Society for Human Resource Management Regarding ADA

Labor and Employment attorney Anne Yuengert was quoted in Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Magazine regarding Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements including confidentiality and reasonable-accommodation provisions.

Yuengert, a partner with Bradley Arant Boult Cummings in Birmingham, Alabama, recommended first getting the employee who has had the seizure to agree to what co-workers should be told. “Before talking with co-workers, I like to talk with the employee first and get his or her buy-in about what to say to co-workers. Getting the employee to agree to what will be told to co-workers is key. Without the employee’s buy-in, you cannot release information about his or her condition to co-workers,” Yuengert explained.
