Problem

You are the new HR manager for a 100-employee marketing firm. You are hiring for the position of office administrator who will work closely with the C-suite of the firm. So far, no successful candidates have applied. The job description was drafted before you started the job last month, and it reads in part as follows: Successful candidate should have the ability to: -read and follow oral and written instructions -good hearing and speaking skills -compose business letters -lift up to 20 pounds -climb stairs 2. Based on your knowledge of the law, what changes, if any, should you make to the job description and why? A successful answer will be thoroughly supported by the law in this area. Assume that you would like to hire applicant "Mike" to fill the position above. You want to ensure that Mike has no medical conditions that would prevent him from doing the job. You extend an offer of employment to Mike and ask that he get a medical exam. When the medical information comes back, you learn that Mike will have trouble climbing stairs as a result of a medical condition. What steps should you take to avoid legal liability? There have been so many new federal appellate and district court cases decided this past year that have affected workers' rights in the area of health and wellness law such as the ADA, OSHA, FMLA, Pregnancy law, etc. Using a professional HR or legal website, identify one such case from 2023 through current day. Brief the case and then write up a description of how you think the case will impact HR practices.
