Abstract
A revision of the Act to Facilitate the Employment of Persons with Disabilities
in 2013 prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities and requires
employers to provide reasonable accommodation for such individuals. Although
government guidelines and other announcements were provided around the
enforcement of the revised Act, sufficient legal interpretation has yet to be built
on the prohibition of discrimination against and the requirement of reasonable
accommodation of persons with disabilities. This paper aims to clarify how
provisions, such as the requirement to provide reasonable accommodation, are
interpreted in legal contexts and what actions employers, physicians, supporters,
and others should take. The paper also describes court cases involving the
employment of people with disabilities.
