Supreme Court Gives Small Companies Room to Avoid ADA

"Thousands of small companies could avoid a law requiring accommodations for disabled workers under a new U.S. Supreme Court ruling. The Court ruled Tuesday against a disabled woman who said a company's partners and shareholders should be counted as employees, thereby making the company large enough to be subject to ADA requirements. The decision mainly affects professional service companies like law firms, medical practices and accounting offices," the Associated Press reports here.
