Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) provides that persons with disabilities cannot be excluded from job opportunities unless they are actually unable to do the job. Job criteria used in this determination must actually measure skills required by the job.
Covered employers are those engaged in an industry affecting interstate commerce and who employ fifteen or more employees for each working day in each of twenty or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding year.
Disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of an individual, a record of such impairment, or being regarded as having such impairment.
