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