A federal district court has ruled that a company’s attendance policy  violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) because it required  employees to disclose the nature of their illness when providing  documentation for sick leave. Under the company’s policy, a doctor’s  note had to include the illness or reason for the sick leave. The court  noted that this could require employees to divulge information about a  disability, a violation of the ADA.
