The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects the rights of people with disabilities. It affects access to employment; state and local government programs and services; access to places of public accommodation such as businesses, transportation, and non-profit service providers; and telecommunications. An organization’s commitment to complying with ADA and to understanding that it can not discriminate based on an employee’s disability is generally indicated in its equal employment opportunity policy. Employees should also be aware that the NPC will make reasonable accommodations to the known physical or mental limitations of qualified employees
