OAR 839-006-0255: Disability and Employment Rights: Effect of Law

Where a state or federal law or regulation prevents employment in a particular position of an individual with a specified, medically verifiable impairment or specified severity of impairment, an employer is not required to employ an individual with a disability with such an impairment in that position. Nothing in this rule will be construed to permit denial of employment to such individual in a position that is not subject to such law or regulations.
