Genuine question, not trying to start an argument. I’m not American so I’m not sure how it works there (not even sure what the ADA is but I’m assuming it’s some sort of American employment body or something), but do you need to provide a reason for not hiring someone? What if someone isn’t fit to fulfill a position? Someone in a wheelchair probably wouldn’t make a very good roofer, for example. Would denying them be considered discrimination? Heavy lifting and being on your feet for hours at a time are mandatory prerequisites for the job. Also, what about probation? Where I live, if you’re on probation, you can be fired without cause. Is that not the case in the States? I’m genuinely just curious how it works in different countries.
Congrats; you just got your company sued for discrimination under the ADA.
