Caterpillar dealer sued over discarded fitness test
Original: Caterpillar dealer faces ADA suit over fitness test it already scrapped
A US Caterpillar dealership is facing a lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act over a pre-employment fitness test it required of job candidates, even though the company had already discontinued the test. The case raises questions about whether dropping a disputed screening practice is enough to avoid liability for its past use, and it is drawing attention from HR and employment law observers tracking disability discrimination claims.
Why now: The irony of a company being sued over a practice it no longer uses is prompting discussion among HR and employment law watchers.
