Connecticut Employment for the Disabled

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) makes discrimination against the disabled illegal, whether it be in a government agency or a private company. In Connecticut, any employer decisions to hire, assign a job position, or issue a promotion can not be based on a person's disability.

As long as the costs are reasonable, New Haven employers are required to provide workers who have disabilities with any special equipment they need for completing tasks.
