Which act mandates reasonable accommodations be provided for employees with disabilities?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the correct answer because it specifically mandates that employers provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities to ensure they can perform the essential functions of their jobs. This law was enacted to prevent discrimination against people with disabilities in all areas of public life, including employment. It requires employers to make adjustments or modifications to the working environment or the way things are usually done to help these individuals succeed in their roles, as long as such accommodations do not impose an undue hardship on the operation of the business.

In contrast, the Rehabilitation Act primarily focuses on discrimination in federal employment and programs receiving federal funding, emphasizing accessibility and rehabilitation services for individuals with disabilities. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) relates to eligible employees taking unpaid leave for family and medical reasons but does not specifically address accommodations for disabilities. The Equal Employment Opportunity Act pertains to the broader scope of preventing employment discrimination but does not lay out specific requirements for reasonable accommodations.
