Who is regarded as a qualified employee or applicant with a disability?

A qualified employee or applicant with a disability is described as an individual who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the job in question.

How Disability Discrimination Attorneys Can Help

Under the law, it is required of employers to make reasonable accommodations for the sake of a qualified applicant or employee with a known disability, provided that doing so would not impose an "undue hardship" on the operation of the employer's business. Undue hardship is the term given to an action requiring substantial expense or hardship when considered in light of such matters as the nature and structure of an employer’s operation, employer’s financial resources, and employer's size.

Disability discrimination attorneys assist in protecting the right of disabled individuals to be accommodated in the workplace. They provide guidance and assistance in all matters related to a disability discrimination litigation. Disability discrimination attorneys may be relied on to communicate, prior to court litigation, with parties concerned and to file the appropriate case, if the need to do so arises.

In between filing and release of verdict, disability discrimination attorneys make certain that all legal requirements and paperwork are complied with and that clients are efficiently represented in court.
