What are employers required to provide under the ADA?

• A. Reasonable accommodations as requested by the employee.
• B. Additional benefits for all employees regardless of disability.
• C. Flexible vacation policies for all staff.
• D. Special performance incentives for high performers.

Answer: (A)

The requirement is to provide reasonable accommodations as requested by the employee. The ADA obligates employers to adjust the work environment or duties so a qualified employee with a disability can perform the essential job functions, unless doing so would cause undue hardship for the business. Examples include modified work schedules, assistive technologies, accessible workspace, or additional leave to address health needs. This obligation focuses on what is reasonable and tailored to the individual’s needs, not on adding benefits for everyone or creating special incentives. The other options describe broad policies that aren’t mandated by the ADA.
