Importantly, employers must provide “Reasonable Accommodations” to disabled individuals.
Unlawful discriminatory employment practices refer to discrimination in the hiring, firing, and the terms and conditions of employment, as well as job training. “Discrimination” also refers to harassment within the workplace.
