Are there any specific exemptions for businesses under the ADA?

Yes, businesses in California are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), but there are some exemptions. Businesses with fewer than 15 employees are exempt from some of the ADA requirements. The ADA does not regulate the hiring practices of organizations with fewer than 15 employees, meaning those businesses are not required to provide reasonable accommodations or make their websites or products accessible to people with disabilities. Businesses with 15-25 employees must provide reasonable accommodations and make certain workplace modifications for employees with disabilities, but they are only required to provide accommodations if they make reasonable financial and administrative sense. Businesses with 25 or more employees are required to provide reasonable accommodations for all employees with disabilities, regardless of the financial and administrative impact. In addition, businesses with 25 or more employees must provide qualified interpreters for employees with hearing disabilities, accessible bathroom facilities, and reasonable accommodations for any employee requesting an accommodation. Businesses with 50 or more employees must also provide reasonable accommodations and modifications to the job site, products, and services. Specifically, they must ensure that their products and services are accessible to people with disabilities and they must make significant architectural changes to buildings and other facilities. In summary, the ADA applies to businesses of all sizes, but there are some exemptions for businesses with fewer than 15 employees. In general, businesses with 15-50 employees must make certain modifications and provide reasonable accommodations, whereas businesses with 50 or more employees must provide significantly more accommodations and modifications.
