Minnesota Employment for the Disabled

Discrimination against disabled individuals is illegal under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), whether the employer is the government or a private citizen. In Minnesota, employers are not allowed to consider a person's disability when making decisions regarding hiring, job positions, or advancement opportunities.

If the costs are reasonable, workers with disabilities are entitled to any special equipment needed for work from their employers. This is on top of the requirement to provide fair treatment. The act also prohibits discrimination against someone based on their relation to a person with a disability that poses special needs.
