The Impact of The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) - Title I - on Small businesses
Abstract
One unique problem that small businesses face is compliance with federal regulations dealing with disability rights. The purpose of our research paper is to share information with instructors, students, managers, and small entrepreneurs regarding the topic of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title I, requirements. We will respond to key ADA Title I questions, such as: What is the ADA, Title I? Who is protected under the ADA Title I? Who is covered under the ADA Title I? What obligations does the employer have under the ADA? What rights do employees with disabilities have? What are the incentives for small businesses that hire people with disabilities? What legal defenses do employers have when dealing with employees with disabilities? And, what impact does the ADA have on small businesses?
After considering the different topics we were provided by our instructor for research, our team group decided to write about the impact that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 has made on small businesses. The ADA law requires employers and businesses serving the general public to make necessary changes in their facilities and policies to accommodate people with disabilities. We will provide our audience, instructors, students, and small entrepreneurs with information regarding State and federal requirements to be met under the ADA when dealing with employees with disabilities in a complete diversified workforce.
