High Court To Clarify ADA "Grey Area"
WASHINGTON, DC, Oct. 1, 2002 --When Congress passed the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, it said that small businesses -- defined as having 15 or more employees -- were required to follow the employment provisions under Title I of the law after July 26, 1994. Those provisions state that such employers cannot discriminate against workers with disabilities in how they hire, fire, train, recruit or pay them.
