When both laws could apply. Generally, public sector employers and private business employers with more than 50 workers are covered under both the ADA and FMLA. Employees in these workplaces can have rights under both laws if they meet the definition of “disability” (ADA) and “serious health condition” (FMLA).

The employee must first present evidence that he is a member of a protected class, he was qualified for the position he held, he suffered an adverse employment action such as being fired, and that he was replaced with another worker who is not a member of that protected class.

An individual with a disability is defined by the ADA as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment.

Content to consider in body of letter: Identify yourself as a person with a disability. State that you are requesting accommodations under the ADA (or the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 if you are a federal employee) Identify your specific problematic job tasks. Identify your accommodation ideas.

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.
