Americans With Disabilities - The State Fair Employment Laws (By state)

1/1

All states have their own laws concerning discrimination against people with a disability and accommodations at work.  Laws differ about the number of employees required before an employer is covered, deadlines for filing a charge, standards for determining whether you are protected by these laws, and different types of relief available to victims of discrimination.

State Fair Employment Practice laws are separately administered through state agencies. To avoid duplication in investigation, however, many states have enacted work sharing agreements with the EEOC wherein a charge filed with one agency will be automatically filed with the other, and one agency will defer to the other to investigate the charge. Upon conclusion of the investigation, the recommendation of the investigating agency will then be adopted by the other agency.

NOTE:  TO HELP COMPLETE THIS LIST, PLEASE ASK YOUR ATTORNEY OR AN ATTORNEY FRIEND TO SEND US INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR STATE.
