FAQ
It is a violation of the ADA to fail to provide reasonable accommodation to the known physical or mental limitations of a qualified individual with a disability, unless to do so would impose an undue hardship on the operation of your business.
People with disabilities face widespread discrimination, segregation, and exclusion. But federal disability rights laws can provide protection. (Updated October 2023 to reflect additions regarding online hiring and digital discrimination.)
To be considered disabled in California, you need to have an impairment that limits a major life activity. Generally, the impairment needs to be permanent, but some temporary impairments may qualify for accommodations.
Other Examples of Non-covered Conditions Broken limbs, sprains, concussions, appendicitis, common colds, or influenza generally would not be disabilities. A broken leg that heals normally within a few months, for example, would not be a disability under the ADA.
Discrimination includes unequal treatment, retaliation and harassment against employees and job applicants with disabilities. It also includes the failure to provide reasonable modifications to an employer's practices, policies or workplace conditions in order to accommodate an employee's or applicant's disability.
To prove discrimination in the workplace, wrongful termination or workplace retaliation in California, you may need to present evidence that: You have been treated unjustly based on one of your protected characteristics. You are qualified, capable and honest and performed your job satisfactorily.
The ADA prohibits discrimination based on a person's disability in employment, State and local government programs, private and non-profit businesses (referred to as public accommodations), commercial facilities, transportation, and telecommunications.
Who Is Protected Under the ADA? The ADA protects qualified individuals with disabilities. An individual with a disability is a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life activities; has a record of such an impairment; or is regarded as having such an impairment.
If you've experienced unlawful discrimination, you can complain to the person or organisation who's discriminated against you. You can also make a discrimination claim in the civil courts.
