What is an employer to do? Or not do?

As reported by the Centers for Disease Control, using their standards for determining obesity, the percentage of adults that are obese falls in the ballpark of around 40%. Knowing that, the question of whether or not those employees that find themselves in that 40% have a disability under the ADA and state law. This white paper reviews the answer to that question and how employers should treat employees who are deemed obese.
