Disability Discrimination in the Workplace and Reasonable Accommodations The Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") prohibits employers from discriminating against employee based on an actual or perceived disability. The ADA was expanded in 2008. Now, "disability" includes things like diabetes, depression, bipolar disorder, HIV/AIDS, severe anxiety, arthritis, and numerous other diagnosis that limit major life activities.
