Answer 1

The correct answer is Americans with Disabilities Act.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights legislation that gives people with disabilities the same protection against discrimination that has been in effect for other people on the basis of race, color, religion, nationality and age. The ADA covers all aspects of participation in society, such as employment, public accommodations, transportation and telecommunications.

The ADA employment provisions (Title I) prohibit discrimination against persons with disabilities in all facets of employment, including recruitment, investigations prior to employment, hiring, training, promotions, employment benefits, layoffs and terminations.

The ADA also requires employers to provide the necessary reasonable accommodations as a form of non-discrimination Employers, human resources professionals and union representatives should be well informed about the ADA in order to respond appropriately to requests for reasonable accommodations from workers with disabilities and other way to ensure compliance with ADA requirements. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces Title I of the ADA.
