The Rights and Protections for Workers With Disabilities
As a leading law firm specializing in workers' rights, Berggren & Turturice understands the unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in the workplace. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive legal resources and assistance to workers who are striving for fair treatment and accommodations in an inclusive working environment.
Legal Protections Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a landmark piece of legislation that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various aspects of life, including employment. This federal law ensures that qualified individuals are provided with reasonable accommodations to perform their job duties, and it prohibits employers from treating employees unfavorably based on their disabilities.
Understanding Reasonable Accommodations
One of the key aspects of the ADA is the requirement for employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities. These accommodations may include modifications to the work environment, job restructuring, flexible scheduling, or the provision of assistive devices. Reasonable accommodations help level the playing field for individuals with disabilities, allowing them to contribute and succeed in the workplace.
