Answer 1

Case

ASICS America corporation will pay $49,650 to a former employee to setlle a disability discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

After the worker's meeting , members of ASICS's human resources department said that they can't employ the lady due to her disabilities and failed to engage in the interactive process with the worker.

Problem

This alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The company had not reviewed and revised the written policies on disability discrimination. This creates the disparity among disables and company.

Solution

The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) ensures that people with disabilities hae an equal opportunity to achieve success in the workplace. Employers should know about the employment hanbook policies, rules. They need to update time to time with the supervisors, managers, and employees so that new guidelines implemented as soon as possible. ASIC will pay the former employees $10,000 in back pay and $39,650 in compensatory damages. And it is also agreed to implement non-monetary remedies . And it is providing training to all managers and human resources employees on disability discrimination and reasonable accomodations.

ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, trasportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose is that disable person have the same rights, and opportunities as everyone else. The ADA gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, sex, national origin, age, and religion.
