FAQ
The ADA only prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. It makes it unlawful to refuse to hire a qualified applicant with a disability because he is disabled or because a reasonable accommodation is required to make it possible for this person to perform essential job functions.
It is a violation of the ADA to fail to provide reasonable accommodation to the known physical or mental limitations of a qualified individual with a disability, unless to do so would impose an undue hardship on the operation of your business.
ADA violations are commonly cited when: The building doesn't have an accessible entrance or exit. Ramps to the building or curb are too steep. ADA signage is missing or incorrect.
You can file an ADA complaint alleging disability discrimination against a state or local government (Title II) or a public accommodation (Title III - including, for example, a restaurant, doctor's office, retail store, hotel, etc.)
Under the Act, a plaintiff is required to present evidence that he or she (1) suffers from a disability, (2) is a qualified individual, and (3) was subjected to an adverse employment action because of the disability.
Unless they lack the right experience and qualifications, ignoring or denying promotions can be an ADA violation. Firing individuals for their disabilities: Wrongful discharge over injuries, illnesses or accommodation requests violates individuals' rights to work where they qualify.
It is an ADA violation for any employer to demote, terminate, harass, or fail to provide reasonable accommodations to disabled employees. Other actions that constitute a violation are: Insufficient number of handrails in a walkway. Failing to provide wheelchair ramps in necessary areas.
Medical records, along with corroborating testimony, can prove you have or had a disability. However, in cases where discrimination is based on a perceived disability, substantiating employer statements or nonverbal conduct regarding your mental or physical abilities becomes crucial.
