Regulations
and Enforcement Overview:
Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits private employers,
state and local governments, employment agencies, and labor unions
from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities
in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation,
job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.
Employers must reasonably accommodate the disabilities of qualified
applicants or employees, including modifying work stations and
equipment. Individuals may file complaints with EEOC or file a private lawsuit after exhausting administrative
remedies. Remedies are the same as available under Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Courts may order an employer to hire
or promote qualified individuals, reasonably accommodate their
disabilities, and pay back wages and attorneys' fees. (The Civil
Rights Act of 1991 provides a new remedy for compensatory and punitive
damages in cases of intentional discrimination in employment.)
