Coordination and Facilitation of the Interactive Process and Suggestions and Implementation of Reasonable Accommodations

"Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment."

— From the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission web site

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a complicated set of rules and regulations. It is meant to protect both business owners and employees.

Employers cannot possibly know or understand each part of the ADA that may pertain to potential situations. HRFocus offers a specialized service for employers regarding compliance to Federal ADA laws, as well as California DFEH laws related to rights and obligations to workers or qualified applicants for work who have disabilities.

Many of our ADA-related services are designed to help employers prevent or defend disability discrimination lawsuits. The law says that employers who employ workers with disabilities must provide accommodations to disabled workers, and that an interactive process must take place between the employee and employer about the disabled workers’ or applicants’ ability to perform the job, as well as about what accommodations are reasonable and may be utilized.

ADA-related services and capabilities include:

• Coordination and facilitation of the interactive process
• Suggestions and implementation of reasonable accommodations
