Litigation Rx: Document your termination decisions

Description

Abstract: To effectively defend themselves against claims made under the Americans with Disabilities Act, employers must follow their stated employment policies and document everything.

This article details the case and explains how the employer eventually prevailed. Hooper v. Proctor Health Care Inc., No. 14-2344, Oct. 26, 2015 (7th Cir.)
