Introduction<\/p>\n

Disability leave is a leave from work which is allowed to a physically challenged employee for various reasons. These reasons may encompass the physicality of the body or medication. The law and also the employer or organization must be aware of these reasons in order to recognize the leave.<\/p>\n

What Does Disability Leave Mean?<\/p>\n

Disability leave is connected to sick leave but it has a couple of notable differences which distinguishes it from sick leave. Several acts in the Federal Law of America provide that individuals with disability or any condition of the body that limits their performance at work should be allowed for a leave in specific times during their employment period.<\/p>\n

In this light, absence from work or other institutions for not less than three calendar days is allowed. This period provides a chance through which the disabled people can be able to visit health care centers for treatment.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. a) Americans with Disabilities Act \u2013 1990ADA stipulates that: private employers, local and state governments, labor unions, and employment agencies should be free from discriminating disabled people who are qualified. This keeps all the employment opportunities open for all individuals. It goes hand in hand with the Rehabilitation Act.<\/li>\n
  2. b) Family and Medical Leave Act<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It enhances family and medical leave without any fear of losing the job or even health insurance benefits. It also provides that individuals should be allowed a leave, which might be lowly paid, for them to attend their family issues. Therefore, in this law, disabled people are highly acknowledged and allowed to participate in the medical or family needs without risk of losing their jobs. They are allowed to have a leave away from their jobs for several days.<\/p>\n

    Who is Entitled to Receive Disability Law?<\/p>\n

    Not all the disabled individuals who have qualified for protection under ADA law. Few people qualify for protection despite having many people being disabled. Therefore, not All individuals who are allowed for disability leave at their work or any other sector.<\/p>\n

    The law only recognizes people who have physical or mental impairment substantially limiting them from conducting significant and essential activities in life. It also acknowledges people who have an impairment record and who are regarded to be impaired medically.<\/p>\n

    Conclusion<\/p>\n

    Disability leave is essential in the lives of the disabled people. It enhances them to conduct other essential activities necessary for their health and life as well as their family. Individuals who are disabled should seek to learn more about disability leave and what it encompasses.<\/p>\n
