207.150 Prohibited employment practices -- Exceptions.
(1)
(2)
No employer shall fail or refuse to hire, discharge, or discriminate against any
individual with a disability with respect to wages, rates of pay, hours, or other
terms and conditions of employment because of the person's physical disability
unless the disability restricts that individual's ability to engage in the particular
job or occupation for which he or she is eligible, or unless otherwise provided
by law or, on the basis of the results of a human immunodeficiency
virus-related test, unless the absence of human immunodeficiency virus
infection is a bona fide occupational qualification of the job in question; nor
shall any employer limit, segregate, or classify individuals with disabilities in
any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual with a disability
of employment opportunities or otherwise affect employee status because of
physical disability, or on the basis of the results of a human immunodeficiency
virus-related test, unless the disability or absence of human immunodeficiency
virus infection, constitutes a bona fide and necessary reason for the limitation,
segregation or classification. This subsection shall not be construed to require
any employer to modify his physical facilities or grounds in any way, or exercise
a higher degree of caution for an individual with a disability than for any person
who is not an individual with a disability.
No employment agency, placement service, training school or center, or labor
organization shall fail or refuse to refer for employment or otherwise
discriminate against individuals because of physical disability.
