Description:
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in many areas of life, including employment, public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications. Here are some examples of ADA violations:
Employment
Failing to provide reasonable accommodations for a qualified employee with a disability, demoting, terminating, or harassing a disabled employee, or requiring a medical examination before offering a job
Public accommodations
Failing to provide accessible facilities or services, such as wheelchair ramps, parking spots for disabled individuals, or adequate restroom facilities
Job postings
Discouraging individuals with disabilities from applying, excluding them, or denying a qualified individual employment because of their disability
Penalties for ADA violations vary depending on the type of violation. The ADA was designed to give businesses with different levels of resources the flexibility to make their own determinations about what is required for compliance. However, businesses should document their compliance actions and the rationale for their decisions to protect themselves from legal challenges.
