Yes. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects individuals with disabilities against employment discrimination. Employers can base RIF decisions on non-discriminatory criteria such as type of appointment, relative efficiency, and length of service. However, the employer cannot penalize individuals with disabilities for accommodations that were provided under the ADA.
