Caterpillar dealer hit with ADA suit over dropped fitness test
Original: Caterpillar dealer faces ADA suit over fitness test it already scrapped
A Caterpillar dealership is facing a lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act over a pre-employment fitness test, even though the company had already discontinued the requirement. The suit raises questions about whether dropping the test shields an employer from liability for candidates screened out while it was still in use. Employment lawyers say the case highlights ongoing legal risk around physical ability testing in hiring.
Why now: It is a new employment discrimination lawsuit with implications for how employers use physical fitness testing in hiring.
