EEOC Record Keeping Requirements Under ADA

The ADA authorizes the EEOC to issue recordkeeping and reporting regulations that are deemed reasonable, necessary, or appropriate to the enforcement of the Act. For purposes of the ADA, the Commission has adopted the same record retention requirements that the Commission already imposes under Title VII. The EEOC does not require an employer to create or maintain any new documents solely for the purposes of the ADA, nor does the Commission require any specific reporting under the Act. However, the Commission specifically reserved the right to issue reporting regulations ''as may be necessary'' to accomplish the purposes of the ADA.
