The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination. It requires that an employer provides \”reasonable accommodation\” if needed to perform \”essential functions\” of a job. The ADA makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against a qualified individual because of a disability in any employment practices such as recruiting, firing, hiring, pay, promotions, and all other employment-related activities.
