What employment practices are covered by the ADA?
The ADA prevents employers from discrimination in employment on the basis of a disability. Employers cannot use a disability to make decisions in: hiring; discharge; promotion; compensation; job training or; benefits. Specifically, the ADA prohibits: not making reasonable accommodations to the known physical limitations to an otherwise qualified individual with a disability, unless such accommodations would impose “undue hardship” on the operation of the business; denying equal opportunity to a qualified individual with a disability; limiting, classifying or segregating any job applicant or employee because of a disability and; retaliation against anyone for asserting their rights under the ADA.
