Disability Discrimination

People with disabilities should not be treated without any prejudice, especially when it comes to employment. Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits private companies, government offices, employment agencies and even labor unions to discriminate individuals based on their disabilities.

This act covers employment procedures and policies such as in hiring, firing, job applications, compensations, trainings, tasking and other terms, conditions and privileges in the company. ADA applies to employers with 15 or more employees.

As the Act prescribes, disability is a physical or mental condition that imposes substantial limitations to an individual’s capacity to perform one or more major life functions. A person may also be considered as disabled if he/she has a record of such impairment or regarded to as having such impairment.

Yet, if a disabled person can still perform the job, his/her employer should give him/her reasonable accommodation including:

• Renovation or improvement of existing company facilities, making it accessible and usable for disabled workers


• Adjustment or modification of job schedules and reassignment to a vacant post


• Obtaining or modifying company equipment, materials and policies
