ADA - Americans With Disabilities Act

The ADA  (Americans with Disabilities Act) protects qualified individuals from disability discrimination in all aspects of employment, from hiring and firing to promotion and demotion to compensation and scheduling. To be in compliance with the ADA, employers need in-depth understanding of who is covered by the law; the definitions surrounding disabilities discrimination, including what is meant by interactive process; and notification and record-keeping procedures that must be followed under the ADA.
