FAQ

A violation can occur when job postings discourage individuals with disabilities from applying, exclude them, or deny a qualified individual employment because of their disability. It is an ADA violation for any employer to demote, terminate, harass, or fail to provide reasonable accommodations to disabled employees.

Examples of accommodations that may be deemed unreasonable include the following: Eliminating a primary job responsibility. Lowering production standards applied to other employees. Providing more paid leave to an employee with a disability than provided to other employees.

A reasonable accommodation is any change to the application or hiring process, to the job, to the way the job is done, or the work environment that allows a person with a disability who is qualified for the job to perform the essential functions of that job and enjoy equal employment opportunities.

For example, a request for reasonable accommodation is a right under Title I and therefore a protected activity. A protected activity can also include opposing a practice the individual thinks is unlawful discrimination under Title I.

REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION RELATED TO THE BENEFITS AND PRIVILEGES OF EMPLOYMENT. The ADA requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations so that employees with disabilities can enjoy the "benefits and privileges of employment" equal to those enjoyed by similarly-situated employees without disabilities.

Under Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a job, the work environment, or the way things are usually done during the hiring process.

Examples of reasonable accommodations include making existing facilities accessible; job restructuring; part-time or modified work schedules; acquiring or modifying equipment; changing tests, training materials, or policies; providing qualified readers or interpreters; and reassignment to a vacant position.

4. What accommodations are not considered reasonable? Reasonable accommodation does not include removing essential job functions, creating new jobs, and providing personal need items such as eye glasses and mobility aids.

Wheelchair use:Installing a ramp to make a workplace wheelchair-accessible.Modifying a restroom so a worker with disabilities can use it.Changing the layout of cubicles to provide enough room for a wheelchair to pass.Providing a raised or adjustable desk so that a wheelchair can be used in place of a chair.

An individual meets the Americans with Disabilities with Act definition act of disability that would qualify them for reasonable accommodations if they have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities (sometimes referred to in the regulations as an actual disability)
