Poorly written job descriptions can wreak workplace havoc, instill confusion, and leave employers exposed to devastating lawsuits. And now the newly-amended Americans with Disabilities Act has further complicated what was already one of HR's most challenging tasks.

Learn how to create job descriptions that comply with the new ADA, that avoid legal liability, and that serve to keep your managers and staff on track by participating in the HR Hero audio conference, Essential Function: Writing ADA-Compliant Job Descriptions.

In just 90 minutes, an experienced employment law attorney and a nationally-recognized employment law authority on the ADA will answer your toughest questions, including:

* What are the pros and cons of having job descriptions? Are they really necessary? What types of positions lend themselves to descriptions?

* What are the specific new challenges from the newly-amended ADA?
* How should workers’ compensation issues be handled?
* What other new or proposed laws need to be considered as job descriptions are being written?
* What are the critical legal issues to be considered?
* How can you avoid language that could signal unlawful discrimination in hiring and promotions?
