Titles I and V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) prohibit covered employers from discriminating against a qualified individual on the basis of a disability. This protection applies to all aspects of employment, including job applications, hiring, promotions, termination, compensation, and training. The definition of discrimination under the ADA specifically includes an employer's failure to provide reasonable accommodations for the known physical or mental limitations of an applicant or employee, unless the employer can prove that such an accommodation would result in an undue hardship on their business operations.
