Both Connecticut and Federal law give individuals with disabilities protection against discrimination in the workplace. The various laws ensure that disabled individuals in Stratford have an equal opportunity to get hired and obtain promotions in their choice of field.

Connecticut Employment for the Disabled

Discriminating against the disabled is prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), whether the employer is a government agency or a private employer. An employer in Connecticut may not consider someone's disability when they make the decision to hire that person, their job assignments or whether they may advance in their position.

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. Additionally, the ADA makes it illegal to discriminate against someone based on their relationship to persons who have a disability requiring special needs.
