A practical guide to the Americans with Disabilities Act
Article Abstract:
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 ensures that disabled individuals are not deprived of their rights to employment, transportation, public accomodations, public services, telecommunications and other vital services. The ADA mandates that employers identify the vital requirements of all jobs and provide reasonable accomodation to qualified individuals with disabilities. This new legislation, which will take effect in Jul 26, 1992, covers a wide range of employment practices, terms, conditions and priveleges, including hiring, training, benefits, disciplinary actions, promotion, compensation, benefits and termination. Several important points that employers must address in complying with the legal requirements of the ADA are discussed.
