The Americans with Disabilities Rehabilitation Act includes requirements for reasonable accommodation and non-discrimination based on disability and rules about employer medical examinations and inquiries. Cases alleging employers are not accommodating California's version of the Americans with Disabilities Act and its protections for physical and/or mental disabilities have continued to gain traction throughout the state. In addition, the ADA has restrictions on when and how much medical information an employer may obtain from any applicant or employee, including medical exams or any disability-related inquiries unless they are job-related and consistent with business necessity.
