What Are the ADA Compliance Requirements for Employers?

Under the ADA, employers are required to make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities. This means that employers must adjust the workplace to enable employees with disabilities to perform their job duties to the best of their ability.

Employers must engage in an interactive process with employees to determine what accommodations are necessary. This process includes:

Requesting more information about the disability.
Requesting more information about the limitations the disability imposes on the employee.
Requesting more information about how the limitations could be overcome with an accommodation.
Considering the employee’s accommodation preferences.
Choosing an effective, reasonable accommodation.

What Is Considered an ADA Violation by an Employer in the San Fernando Valley?

An employer is in violation of the ADA if they refuse to make reasonable accommodations for an employee with a disability. Employers are also in violation of the ADA if they engage in discriminatory practices against employees with disabilities.

Examples of ADA violations include:

Refusing to hire someone with a disability.
Refusing to promote someone with a disability.
Demoting someone with a disability.
Firing someone because of their disability
Harassing someone because of their disability.
Allowing a hostile work environment to develop because of someone’s disability.
Failing to make reasonable accommodations for someone’s disability.
Retaliating against someone for requesting accommodations.
