ADA Compliance
Disabilities and Accessibility
Employers are obligated to consider people with disabilities for employment on an equal basis and to prevent discrimination against them. This chapter includes information on required postings, harassment and retaliation protections, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) enforcement and remedies for discrimination, and employer obligations to consider qualified disabled individuals for employment and advancement.
Four state and federal laws protect employees with disabilities from discrimination: The ADA; the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).
Review this section to familiarize yourself with your obligations under federal and state disability law.
State and federal disability laws require covered employers who know of an individual’s disability to reasonably accommodate that disability, unless the employer can demonstrate that the accommodation would impose an undue hardship.
When a disability or the need for an accommodation isn’t known or obvious, you can ask an employee for reasonable documentation about that individual’s disability and its functional limitations that require reasonable accommodation.
