Which Title of the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits employee discrimination?

• A. Title I: prohibits employee discrimination
• B. Title II: state and local government services and transportation
• C. Title III: public accommodations
• D. Title IV: telecommunications

Answer: (A)

The question tests which ADA title covers employment discrimination. The best answer is Title I, because it specifically prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in all aspects of employment—hiring, firing, promotions, pay, job duties, performance evaluations, training, benefits, and other terms and conditions of work. It also requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations unless doing so would cause undue hardship, and it enforcement through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The other titles address different areas: state and local government services and transportation (Title II), public accommodations like restaurants and hotels (Title III), and accessible telecommunications (Title IV). So for prohibiting employee discrimination, the responsible title is Title I.
