The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various aspects of public life, including employment. Disability discrimination occurs when an individual with a disability is treated differently or unfavorably in employment due to their disability.
The ADA also prohibits discrimination by employment agencies, ensuring that qualified individuals with disabilities are protected in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms and conditions of employment.
According to the ADA, a disability is defined as “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.” This can include physical, sensory, and cognitive impairments such as blindness, deafness, mobility issues, chronic health conditions, and intellectual disabilities.
The ADA protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination in all areas of employment, including hiring, firing, job assignments, and promotions. Employers are also required to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, as long as it does not impose an undue hardship on the business.
