We have now reached the end of our review of the five most common employer misperceptions of hiring an individual with a disability. Misperception 5. It is more difficult to terminate an employee with a disability than an employee without a disability.

The Reality.
The reality is that labor laws governing the firing of employees are no different for those with disabilities than those without. The basic truth is that, if an employee is not performing their job up to the requirements as stated in the job description, they can be terminated. As in all cases, specific documentation needs to be kept to support the job termination.
