The Expanding Ranks of the Disabled
Human Resource Executive Online Sept. 12, 2013
"New guidelines from the American Medical Association consider obesity to be a disease, which means the majority of working Americans could now be classified as disabled. That may make HR departments responsible for their employees in a whole new way.... While there currently is no federal law prohibiting discrimination against obese individuals, the AMA's recent announcement could bring about legislative changes that could affect the way employers deal with overweight employees. Some experts also fear that companies might face more disability-related lawsuits as a result."
