The ADA does not require an employer to develop or maintain job descriptions. However, employers can benefit in at least two ways from having well-written job descriptions that set out the essential functions for each employment position.
To state a claim under title II of the ADA, a plaintiff must prove three elements: (1) that he is a qualified individual with a disability, (2) that he was discriminated against by being excluded from or denied the benefits of a public entity's services, and (3) that he was discriminated against because of his
The ADA's four primary goals include full participation, equal opportunity, independent living and economic self-sufficiency.
The ADA is divided into five titles:Employment (Title I)Public Services (Title II)Public Accommodations (Title III)Telecommunications (Title IV)Miscellaneous (Title V)
It prohibits disability discrimination. The ADA is divided into four main sections, which are called Titles: Title I covers employment; Title II covers public entities and public transportation; Title III covers public accommodations and commercial facilities; and Title IV covers telecommunications.
While the ADA doesn't require employers to develop or maintain job descriptions, they should be used as an integral part of the district's efforts to comply with the Act. Job descriptions should provide accurate documentation of job requirements, physical and mental demands, and duties.
Have an equal opportunity to be promoted once they are working; have equal access to benefits and privileges of employment that are offered to other employees, such as employer-provided health insurance or training; and. must not be harassed because of their disability.
In general, job descriptions affect ADA compliance in two ways: They show the job requirements, thus allowing an employer to choose a qualified applicant. They show the essential job functions, thus allowing employers to make distinctions between these and other job functions.
Employers must make sure that people with disabilities have an equal access to jobs, compensation and promotions. The ADA also requires employers to prevent harassment because of a person's disability. With limited exceptions, you must keep confidential any medical information about applicants or employees.
Job descriptions should use clear, concise, non-technical language. In defining essential functions, the description should focus on the required outcome rather than process (unless the process itself is truly essential).
