\"Guidance<\/p>\n

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) each recently issued new technical assistance documents about how employers\u2019 use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other software tools to make employment decisions may result in unlawful disability discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).<\/p>\n

EEOC Guidance<\/strong> – The EEOC\u2019s new guidance<\/a> focuses on the following three ways an employer\u2019s use of software tools for employment decisions may violate the ADA:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The employer does not provide a reasonable accommodation necessary for an individual to be rated fairly and accurately by the software.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. The software \u201cscreens out\u201d an individual with a disability, even though the individual is able to do the job with a reasonable accommodation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. The software makes disability-related inquiries or includes medical examinations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The EEOC\u2019s guidance also provides best practices to help employers avoid these violations.<\/p>\n

        DOJ Guidance<\/strong> – The DOJ\u2019s new guidance<\/a> provides a broad overview of rights and responsibilities under the ADA. It also outlines examples of the types of software tools employers use, clarifies that employers must consider various disabilities when designing or choosing their software, and explains when an employer using software tools must provide a reasonable accommodation.<\/p>\n

        Employer Takeaway<\/strong> – Employers increasingly leverage software tools for employment decisions. Therefore, they should review this guidance and assess their current practices to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
