The ADA is a federal civil rights law that was passed in 1990 and is designed to protect people with disabilities from discrimination in employment, among other protections. Title I of the ADA prohibits discrimination in employment and requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities.
The Employees’ Practical Guide to Requesting and Negotiating Reasonable Accommodations provides a good overview of the ADA and the interactive process for requesting reasonable accommodation and is appropriate for both employees and supervisors who wish to learn more.
In general, employees should request reasonable accommodation when they know that there is a workplace barrier that is preventing them, due to a disability, from competing for a job, performing a job, or gaining access to a benefit of employment like an employee lunchroom or employee parking.
