Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), what is the maximum number of employees a company can have before being required to comply with ADA employment provisions?
Correct Answer
B) 14 employees
The ADA applies to employers with 15 or more employees. Companies with 14 or fewer employees are not required to comply with ADA employment provisions.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The ADA employment provisions apply to employers with 15 or more employees. This means that companies with 14 or fewer employees are exempt from ADA employment requirements. The threshold of 15 employees is specifically established in Title I of the ADA, which covers employment discrimination. Therefore, 14 employees is the maximum number a company can have before being required to comply with ADA employment provisions.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 10 employees
10 employees is too low - companies can have up to 14 employees without being subject to ADA employment provisions, not just 10.
Option C: 20 employees
20 employees exceeds the threshold - companies with 15 or more employees must comply with ADA employment provisions, so 20 would already require compliance.
Option D: 25 employees
25 employees far exceeds the threshold - companies with 15 or more employees must comply with ADA employment provisions, so 25 would already require compliance.
Memory Technique
Remember 'Lucky 14' - companies with 14 or fewer employees are 'lucky' to be exempt from ADA employment requirements, but once they hit 15, the ADA kicks in.
Reference Hint
Look up ADA Title I employment provisions in your construction law reference or business law chapter covering federal employment regulations.
