FAQ

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.

Accessibility standards issued under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) apply to places of public accommodation, commercial facilities, and state and local government facilities in new construction, alterations, and additions. The ADA Standards are based on minimum guidelines set by the Access Board.

What can a person do if his employer denies a requested accommodation? In Pennsylvania, he must file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 300 days of the discriminatory action or with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) within 180 days of the discriminatory action.

The Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA) covers discrimination in employment, housing, commercial property, education, and public accommodations. The PHRA has been amended many times since its adoption in 1955, originally as the Pennsylvania Fair Employment Practice Act.

Filing a Claim for Employment Discrimination Before you may file a lawsuit against your employer in court, you must first file a complaint of discrimination with either the EEOC or PHRC. You must file the complaint with either agency within 180 days of the adverse employment action.

The Americans with Disabilities Act and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act prohibit employers from firing, demoting, refusing to hire or promote a qualified individual with disabilities on the basis of disability. These laws also require employers to provide reasonable accommodations.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Fair Housing Act (FHA), and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA) prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability (among other things) and provide a broad set of legal rights to ensure that people with disabilities can fully participate in all aspects of society.

The ADA covers the same employees as Title VII but further requires employees to have, have a record or history of – or be perceived by the employer to have – a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits a major life activity (such as sleeping, eating, walking, etc.).
