Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ADA presents a challenge to managers when attempting to treat all employees equitably, as they need to ensure that reasonable accommodations are provided to employees with disabilities without causing undue hardship to the organization. The ADA does not mandate that all accommodations must be provided, but rather that reasonable accommodations must be provided if they do not pose an undue hardship on the organization. The ADA does not specify different criteria for dealing with disabilities in men and women, nor does it focus only on permanent disabilities. Lastly, the ADA does not state that the accommodation requested by a disabled person must be agreed upon by other employees.
