Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rejection based on the arthritic condition of the applicant constitutes discrimination on the grounds of physical disability, which is a legally protected ground under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other similar laws. The decision cannot solely be based on the advice of the doctor without considering reasonable accommodations that could be made for the individual to perform the essential job functions safely.
