Background:

The rising incidence of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) presents significant challenges for workplace management.
Managers must understand legal frameworks to protect the rights of employees and clients affected by AIDS.

Purpose of the Study:

To review legislation and legal precedents relevant to employees with AIDS.
To inform management decisions regarding AIDS in the workplace.

Main Methods:

Review of key legislation including the Vocational Rehabilitation Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act, Comprehensive Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, National Labor Relations Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act, and Americans with Disabilities Act.
Analysis of legal protections against employment discrimination for individuals with AIDS.

Main Results:

The Vocational Rehabilitation Act and Americans with Disabilities Act prohibit discrimination based on disability, including AIDS.
Legislation like ERISA and COBRA offers protections for employee benefits.
The National Labor Relations Act protects all employees, including those with AIDS.
Current medical understanding confirms AIDS is not transmitted via casual contact, negating workplace safety concerns under OSHA.
Amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act specifically protect food-handling workers with AIDS from job removal.

Conclusions:

Coworker fears and management concerns about productivity or costs are insufficient legal defenses against discrimination claims.
Employees diagnosed with AIDS are legally safeguarded against adverse employment actions stemming from their condition.
