PROGRAM: The Aging Workforce (Using the Proper Legal Focus)

People are working longer. Retirement is not at 65 anymore, and fifty is not "old." Many people are healthier and active longer. Some are not. Employers can benefit from the experience of those who stay for extra years. At other times, people cannot perform at the level they used to. The increasing number of older workers create opportunity and quandaries on fair evaluation, how to validly determine whether a person can effectively and safely continue in a job, corporate succession planning and more.

Learn about:

• The Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Wisconsin and federal accommodation requirements, and the Older Worker's Benefit Protection Act
• Validity in evaluating whether a person can continue to do the essential job functions
• Rights to evaluate fitness for duty or "direct threat of safety"
• Explore how to make valid, non-discriminatory decisions
