How ADA Affects Employment
by: New Mexico Legal Aid
A person with a disability is trained for a job. He applies for it. The person hiring has to treat him in the same way he treats everyone else.
It is discrimination to do anything else.
The employer is the person who hires people to work form him. He has to have at least 15 people working for him. These people must have worked for him for 20 weeks. The weeks must be in this year or last year.
The agent of the employer is the same as the employer.
The word discriminate means deciding that a worker who has a disability cannot be as good as one who does not.
