Conduct giving rise to discrimination claims
The following is a non-exhaustive list of actions that my give rise to a claim of discrimination: using employment tests or other types of selection criteria that are not job-related nor necessary for the business and which tend to screen out disabled applicants; denying a person employment because of his/her relationship with a disabled individual; and refusing to make reasonable accommodations for a qualified disabled employee, unless such accommodations cause an undue burden on the employer.
