Which law prohibits discrimination by employers against individual employees with disabilities?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the law that specifically prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various areas, including employment. Enacted in 1990, the ADA aims to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. It requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities, allowing them to perform their job responsibilities effectively while also protecting them from any discriminatory practices based on their disability status.

In contrast, the other laws listed focus on different types of discrimination or specific groups. The Age Discrimination Act addresses age-related discrimination, while Title VII of the Civil Rights Act focuses on discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 also provides some protections for individuals with disabilities, particularly in federal programs, but it does not cover as broad an array of employers and private sector jobs as the ADA does. Thus, the ADA is the most relevant law for addressing discrimination specifically against employees with disabilities.
