What is Disability
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed by Congress in 1990. It covers companies with 15 or more employees. Pregnant workers cannot be discriminated against. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requires employers with 50 or more employees to provide leaves. Health and safety (OSHA) regulations and workers compensation protect every employee.
