Work-related Accommodations

ADA Accommodations

In 1973, the United States passed sections 501 and 503 of the Rehabilitation act as a subset to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

One of the key aspects of this law is  to provide  for employees with disabilities (short or long-term). Accommodations make it possible for a person with a disability to perform their job, but they must not create an "" for the employer, in other words cause too much difficulty or expense to implement. At 麻豆传媒, an accommodation is any change in the work environment or in the way things are customarily done that enables an individual with a disability to enjoy equal employment opportunities.
