The Americans with Disabilities Act requires employers to provide what to qualified employees with disabilities to perform essential duties?

• A. Reasonable accommodation
• B. Extra paid leave
• C. Special training only
• D. Flexible hours without limits

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that employers must provide reasonable accommodations to qualified employees with disabilities so they can perform the essential duties of their job. A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment that removes barriers in the workplace, allowing the person to do the job without changing the essential functions or imposing an undue hardship on the business. Examples include adjusted work schedules, assistive technology or equipment, physical workplace modifications, or reorganizing tasks. This requirement is about enabling performance, not just offering extra leave or training alone, and accommodations must be reasonable and feasible for the employer. So the correct concept is providing a reasonable accommodation to enable performing essential duties.
