Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, how many employees must an employer have for the law to apply?

The correct answer is: 15

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a significant piece of civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various areas, including employment. For the ADA to apply to an employer, the threshold is set at having 15 or more employees. This means that businesses and organizations with at least this number are required to comply with the provisions of the ADA, ensuring equal opportunity and reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities. This requirement underscores the intention of the ADA to extend protections to a broad range of employees, while also acknowledging that smaller organizations may face different operational capacities and challenges. Understanding this threshold is crucial for employers in determining their obligations under the law related to hiring, accommodating, and maintaining a workplace free from discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
