Under Title VII of the ADA, employers are required to provide qualified individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from the full range of employment-related opportunities available if they have 15 or more employees. Religious entities that have 15 or more employees are also covered under Title VII. Employers are not allowed to ask certain questions about the applicant’s disability before a job offer is made, and employers must make reasonable accommodations to employees with known physical or mental limitations unless it results in undue hardship.

If you are considering filing a Title VII complaint, you must keep in mind the strict time restrictions that apply. In Louisiana Title I complaints that are filed with the EEOC must be filed within 300 days of the date when the discrimination occurred, and complaints that are filed with State agencies must also be filed within 300 days.
