By: Kimberly L. Russell, Esq.

The Census 2000 Summary reports that the American workforce includes 18.6 million people with disabilities be- tween the ages of 16 to 64. That num- ber certainly will increase as the “Baby Corporate Law & Business Planning Mergers & Acquisitions Boomer” population continues to age Land Use, Zoning & Development Construction Law Environmental Law Mediation & Arbitration and the financial stresses of the American Employment Law for Employers Healthcare Law economy in the post-Madoff era forces Estate Planning & Administration Tax Law aging adults to remain in the workforce. Of even greater significance Real Estate, Business & Financing Transactions is a major change in federal law that went virtually unnoticed in the Business, Commercial, Real Estate & Title Litigation mainstream media but which affects the legal responsibilities of mil- lions of employers. Effective January 1, 2009, Congress amended the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the federal law that requires Maury B. Reiter, Managing Principal 610.260.6000 employers to implement “reasonable accommodations” for disabled www.kaplaw.com employees to enable those employees to work. The ADA amend- Philadelphia, PA Blue Bell, PA Cherry Hill, NJ ments significantly expanded the number of employees who qualify as “disabled” by expanding the definition of disabled to include any individual with an impairment of any bodily system (i.e. circulatory system for individuals with high blood pressure) and prohibiting the consideration of “mitigating measures” such as medication in deter- mining whether an individual is substantially limited in their major life activities and thereby entitled to protection under the ADA.

On March 24, 2011, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commis- sion (EEOC) updated the regulations that the EEOC uses to interpret the ADA. The EEOC is the agency charged with enforcing the ADA and other laws against discrimination. The EEOC has stated that as a result of its new ADA regulations, it will be “much easier for individu- als seeking the law’s protection to demonstrate that they meet the definition of ‘disability.’” The importance of the ADA in helping indi- viduals with disabilities to have equal access to jobs and fair treatment in the workplace is indisputable. Although the ADA amendments and the new EEOC regulations are well intentioned in their effort to cover as many individuals as possible, the ADA and new EEOC regu- lations have no effective “checks and balances” to guide employers in dealing with issues of determining which individuals are disabled and how employers must accommodate those disabilities. Congress and the EEOC have made it clear that they expect employers to err on the side of including all individuals with medical conditions that impair major life activities as “disabled.” However, in their efforts to provide broad coverage to individuals, Congress and the EEOC have failed to provide definitions, regulations, and guidelines that can be implemented in any realistic way in the workplace. The unfortunate end result may be to increase frustrations of employers and disabled employees alike. Clearer guidelines would help establish realistic expectations of all parties and enable employers and employees to work in a productive manner. (Submitted Copy)

Founded in 1958, The Gambone Group has been a leader in the building industry for over forty years. The three original owners began as carpenters pooling their talents in demolition, excava- tion, masonry, and concrete to form Gambone Brothers Construc- tion Company.

The profits from the owners’ early construction activities were used to acquire land for housing developments and apartments. By the late 1960’s, entities within The Gambone Group had devel- oped hundreds of houses and owned close to 1000 apartments. The first commercial construction began with Zern’s Market in 1967.

Throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s, The Gambone Group grew into a full service development company building quality construction industrial, office, rental and residential structures in the Northern Directions From King of Prussia: Philadelphia suburbs.
