Poretsky law

The Poretsky Law is a rule that governs how companies treat their employees who have disabilities. These rules say that companies can't treat employees with disabilities differently just because they have a disability.

For example, if someone has trouble walking because of a disability, their employer can't refuse to hire them just because they might need special accommodations like a wheelchair ramp or a special desk.

Likewise, the employer can't fire them if they need extra time off for doctors' appointments or other disability-related issues. The Poretsky Law makes sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and protections as everyone else in the workplace.

So, even if someone has a disability, they can still do a great job and contribute to the company, and they deserve the same chances and opportunities as everyone else. The Poretsky Law helps make sure that happens.
