With the official expiration of the COVID-19 public health emergency on May 11, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has published revisions to its COVID-19 technical assistance guidance for employers, the first such revisions since July 2022. The EEOC’s original COVID-19 guidance, in the form of a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) posted on the EEOC’s website, was designed to help employers comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other federal EEO laws while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The updated guidance is designed primarily to remind employers of their ADA compliance obligations even as the COVID-19 health emergency has expired, as well as to respond to questions posed by stakeholders since the guidance was last updated 10 months ago.
