Introductory information about the Americans with
Disabilities Act for Employers

• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) gives
  civil rights
• protections to individuals with disabilities
  similar to those
• provided to individuals on the basis of race,
  color, sex,
• national origin, age, and religion.
• It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals
  with
• disabilities in public accommodations,
  employment,
• transportation, State and local government
  services, and
• telecommunications.

What are the basic protections offered by the ADA
employment provisions (ADA Title I)?
People with disabilities have equal opportunity
to apply for work and be promoted in jobs for
which they are qualified.
People with disabilities have equal access to the
benefits and privileges of employment.
People with disabilities are protected from a
hostile work environment and harassment based on
their disability.
All of the above.

• basis of disability regarding
• fringe benefits available by
• virtue of employment (e.g.,
• child care, dining, social
• events).
• But theres more!

Close!

• Harassment is a form of discrimination under the
  ADA.
• Harassment is any unwelcome conduct based on
• disability. Examples can include offensive jokes,
  name
• calling, slurs, physical assaults or threats, and
  ridicule or
• mockery. For more information about harassment,
  visit
• the EEOC website by clicking here.
• However, the ADA does so much more.

CORRECT!

• Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of
  1990 prohibits private
• employers, state and local governments,
  employment agencies and
• labor unions from discriminating against
  qualified individuals with
• disabilities in job application procedures,
  hiring, firing, advancement,
• compensation, job training, and other terms,
  conditions, and
• privileges of employment.
• For more information about Title I of the ADA,
