Re: Rights under the ada

I have read your question about the termination of a hearing impaired person. I do not think that the average employer is required to provide any "representation" for an employee they are terminating. That said however, if this employee did not understand why they were terminated, that would raise a flag for me regarding how this employer treated the hearing impaired. I think it might be best to visit with an employment lawyer and examine this in more detail.
