Nearly a quarter of the U.S. workforce will soon have to answer a personal question from the boss: Are you disabled?
U.S. regulations going into effect next week require for the first time that federal contractors—a group that includes Boeing Co. BA +1.22% , Dell Inc. and AT&T Inc., T +3.43% among some 40,000 others—ask their employees if they have a disability.
Those that don't employ a minimum of 7% disabled workers, or can't prove they are taking steps to achieve that goal, could face penalties and, in the most extreme cases, the loss of their contracts, according to a government official. The target applies to contractors with 50 or more employees or more than $50,000 in government work.
I'm sorry but once again,words fail me.Talk amongst yourselves.
