Job Reassignment - A Reasonable Accommodation Under ADA

Congress designed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with the goal of ensuring that People with Disabilities in this nation have equal access to employment opportunities, public accommodations, and government services. Even though most anti-discrimination statutes ban decisions based upon a person's class status such as gender or race, the ADA requires entities to take affirmative steps to accommodate people who experience a form of disability. In relation to employment, the ADA commonly requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities.
