Which act requires employers to provide 'reasonable accommodation' to qualified disabled employees?

  1. The Civil Rights Act

  2. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

  3. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

  4. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act)

The correct answer is: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the correct answer because it specifically states that employers must make reasonable accommodation for qualified disabled employees. The Civil Rights Act, while also important for protecting against discrimination, does not have a provision for reasonable accommodation. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is focused on the protection of personal health information and does not pertain to workplace accommodations. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) is primarily concerned with ensuring safe and healthy working conditions and does not address accommodations for disabled employees.
