ADA Statement
Each individual possesses different abilities to accomplish the same result. The ADA bars employers from discriminating against a disabled employee by requiring a specific method of achievement, which is different from requiring the employee to achieve the desired end. The employer’s judgment of a function’s importance typically is considered key in determining whether a job function is essential. An employer, therefore, need not sacrifice performance standards to comply with the ADA and similar nondiscrimination requirements.
