Three Types of Disabilities:
Physical Disability
A physical disability refers to any condition that impacts how your body functions, limiting your ability to perform certain tasks.Mental Disability
Mental disabilities, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or OCD, are also protected. Conditions like kleptomania or gambling disorders are not covered under disability laws.Perceived Disability
Even if you don’t have a disability, if your employer believes you do and discriminates against you because of that belief, that is illegal. A perceived disability is protected by law just as much as an actual disability.
Scenario Example:
You arrive for a job interview at a grocery store. You drove a car with a handicap license plate, which belongs to a family member with a disability. Although you don’t park in a designated handicap space, the employer assumes you have a disability. During the interview, the employer speculates about how this perceived disability might affect your performance and ultimately decides not to hire you. Even though you don’t have a disability, this action is illegal.
Employers are not allowed to make hiring or firing decisions based on confirmed or assumed disabilities, which violates federal law.
