Myths and Facts
MYTH: The ADA (Americans with
Disabilities Act) forces employers to hire unqualified individuals with
disabilities.
FACT: Unqualified candidates are not protected under the ADA. To be
protected from discrimination in hiring, an individual must first meet all
requirements for a job and be able to perform its essential functions with or
without reasonable accommodations.
MYTH: Under the ADA, an
employer cannot fire an employee who has a disability.
FACT: Employers can fire workers with disabilities under three conditions:
- The termination is unrelated to the disability or
- The employee does not meet legitimate requirements for the job, such as performance or production standards, with or without a reasonable accommodation or
- Because of the employee's disability, he or she poses a direct threat to health or safety in the workplace. (Source: U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Disability Employment Policy)
