The ADA, or Americans with Disabilities Act, is the federal law that bans discrimination against individuals with disabilities. An employer must often have more than 15 or more employees to be governed by this law. It is not just private employers that must follow Title I of the ADA; it includes local, county, and state employers also. Simply put, the ADA prohibits discrimination in hiring, firing, promotion, compensation, and the conditions of employment against individuals considered to have a disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities and the employee has a record of the disability.
