What does Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) cover?

Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifically addresses employment issues for individuals with disabilities. This section is designed to prevent discrimination against qualified individuals based on their disabilities in all aspects of the employment process. This includes hiring, promotions, training, wages, and other employment-related benefits. It mandates that employers provide reasonable accommodations to enable employees with disabilities to perform their jobs effectively, as long as these accommodations do not impose an undue hardship on the employer.

In contrast, the other options pertain to different areas covered by other sections of the ADA or are outside its scope. Public transportation services are addressed in Title II, which pertains to public services and transportation. Access to public accommodations falls under Title III of the ADA, which ensures that individuals with disabilities have equal access to goods and services provided by private entities. Telecommuting policies can be influenced by ADA requirements but are not specifically covered under any single title of the act relating to employment; instead, they would fall under broader employment practices that Title I regulates.
