WORK INCENTIVES IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1999 AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT Title I Title II Title III Title IV Title V --> THE UTAH ANTI-DISCRIMINATION ACT OF 1965 --> Resources		ADA Title I: Employment   Title I require public and private employers with 15 or more employees to provide qualified individuals with disabilities the full range of employment-related opportunities available to others. Under the ADA, it is illegal to discriminate in any aspect of employment, including: hiring and firing compensation, assignment, or classification of employees transfer, promotion, layoff, or recall recruitment testing use of company facilities training and apprenticeship programs fringe benefits pay, retirement plans, and disability leave other terms and conditions of employment   Before making an offer of employment, an employer may not ask job applicants about the existence, nature, or severity of a disability. Applicants may be asked about their ability to perform job functions. Employers are required to make reasonable accommodation for the known physical or mental limitations of qualified applicants or employees with disabilities, unless doing so would cause an undue hardship on the employer's business. Reasonable accommodations include such actions as: making work sites accessible modifying existing equipment providing new devices modifying work schedules restructuring jobs providing readers or interpreters   Employers are often required to provide assistive devices and/or services in order to comply with their duty of "reasonable accommodation" under federal and state anti-discrimination laws.   Reasonable accommodation can also involve providing assistive technology devices or services, which make it possible for people to increase their productivity and/or perform essential job functions. An employer is not required to lower production standards to make an accommodation. Employers are also not required to provide personal devices such as wheelchairs or services.   Employers do not have to provide accommodation if doing so would cause "undue hardship." Undue hardship is defined as action requiring significant difficulty or expense. The size and financial resources of the business, the type of operation, the nature and cost of the accommodation, and safety considerations are factors that may be considered in determining whether a requested accommodation would cause "undue hardship."
