The Disability Nondiscrimination Law Advisor is aimed at helping employers quickly and simply determine which federal disability nondiscrimination laws apply to their business or organization and their responsibilities under those laws. The Advisor asks users to answer a few questions in order to take into account relevant variables, such as nature of organization, size of staff and whether the business or organization receives federal financial assistance. Based on the responses, the advisor then generates a customized list of federal disability nondiscrimination laws that likely apply, along with easy-to-understand information about employers’ responsibilities under them, the DOL says.
The laws addressed by the Advisor include: Titles I and II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; Section 188 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (as it pertains to federal financial assistance); Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; and The Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended.
The advisor also includes a Guide on Employing People with Disabilities that outlines resources available to help employers comply with disability nondiscrimination laws.
