Can my supv. talk about my disability on my evaluation?

Answer 1

No. They can only talk about doing the job or not.

Answer 2

your supervisor can not bring up your disability in an evaluation since he knew about it already and the bad thing is he/she knows better then to do it I can't see why they would be so stupid as to even try that.

Americans with Disabilities Act

If you have a qualified disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), then your employee rights require your employer to reasonably accommodate you in the workplace, unless your employer can prove undue hardship.


Your employee rights under the Act also prohibit your employer from discriminating against you in any other aspect of employment, because of your disability.

The ADA provides for legal recourse, such as recovery of punitive damages and attorney fees, should your employer violate your ADA employee rights.

The Americans with Disabilities Act is enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). It applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local government employers, and to employment agencies and unions.

The ADA anti-discrimination standards apply to Federal government employees under section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act.

The state in which you work might have a law with equivalent or better employee rights protections than the Federal ADA. If so, you are protected by whichever law is the most generous, depending on the circumstances.

To file a discrimination charge against an employer for violation of your employee rights under the ADA or a state-equivalent law, you may do so directly with the EEOC or state-equivalent agency, or by asking an attorney to help you. An attorney will likely better file your charge in legalese, to increase your chances that the EEOC or state-equivalent agency will act on your behalf.

Whether you first see an attorney or file charge with the EEOC or state equivalent, don't delay for long. A relatively short statute of limitations applies, from the date of the initial employer violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

For more information about your employee rights under the ADA or a state equivalent law, start by contacting the nearest field office of the EEOC or state equivalent, or consult an attorney. Meanwhile, you might want to read about disability discrimination under the ADA at the Web site of the EEOC.

Answer 3

Depends on the context.
In the UK you shouldn't be discriminated against because of any disability by your employer. If however they are considering your disability in terms of any adjustments they need to make to your workplace to make it easier for you that's obviously an entirely different thing.

Answer 4

Absolutely not! It's a severe violation of A.D.A. If you are in an organized labor union, contact your steward and see how they can help. If not, call your state government office of the State Attorney General, your state representatives and your local council offices and get them all involved.

Answer 5

Check out the AMERICAN DISABILITY ACT. Or call their office. When I worked for a chemical plant in Longview, TX the supervisor told everyone about my disability and humiliated me with it. That is wrong. But please check with ADA on what they allow. In certain ways behind closed doors they can.

Answer 6

If it affects your ability to do the job.....maybe.

But, it depends if your job has changed, or if it's the same job, that you were hired to do & if you had the disability when you were hired.

Answer 7

Yes. It is on your application so it's part of who you are and may affect the job you are performing.

Answer 8

I don't think so...you can check, most employers have a poster or a fact sheet about what your rights are...

but it sounds fishy to me :)

Answer 9

no
