FAQ

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA") is the federal law which prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities. The Massachusetts employment discrimination law is Chapter 151B of the Massachusetts General Laws.

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.).

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.

The ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability. Under the ADA, it is illegal to discriminate against someone because of their disability. For example, a fitness center could not exclude a person who uses a wheelchair from a workout class because they cannot do all of the exercises in the same way.

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.

Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act (M.G.L. c. 151B), it is unlawful to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of his or her membership in a protected group.

For instance: deafness substantially limits hearing; blindness substantially limits seeing; intellectual disability, autism, traumatic brain injury, and major mental illness substantially limit brain function; mobility impairments that require the use of a wheelchair or partially or completely missing limbs ...

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.

In fact, the title defines an employee as simply "an individual employed by an employer." Therefore, assuming they work — or are applying to work — for a covered employer as outlined above, Title VII provides discrimination protection for all employees, former employees, and those applying to be employees.

The ADA Coordinator is the person who: coordinates a city or town's (municipality's) efforts to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and. handles disability access issues, like: processing reasonable modification requests and resolving complaints about disability-related barriers to municipal programs.
