Question

Which act requires employers with federal contracts over $2500 to take affirmative action for the employment of disabled persons? It requires an employer take steps to accommodaqte a disabled worker unless that causes undue hardship

Answer 1

The Vocational Rehab Act of 1973 requires employers with federal contracts over $2500 to take affirmative action for the employment of disabled persons.

Explanation:

• Once the employer registers for a federal contract of more than $2500, it is mandatory for him to make provisions to enable himself to employ disabled persons in his organization.
• Irrespective of whether or not any disabled candidate qualified enough for working in his organization would approach him for work, he should still make the provisions for employing disabled candidates.
