QUESTION: What are my obligations as an employer under Title I of the
Americans with Disabilities Act and where can I get technical assistance?
ANSWER: Employers of 15 or more employees are prohibited under
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) from discriminating against
applicants or employees with disabilities. Information about employer
obligations under the ADA can be obtained from the
U.S.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission 1-800-669-4000 (voice), or
1-800-669-6820 (TTY). Information can also be obtained from the
federally-sponsored
Disability
and Business Technical Assistance Center in your area at
1-800-949-4232.
Employers should also determine obligations they may have under state
law.
