What is Section 503?
A. It is that area of land that can be found between
longitude 502 and latitude 504.
B. Prohibits employment discrimination based on disability
by federal contractors.
C. Requires federal contractors to take affirmative action.
D. Both B and C.
Not even close…
While there very well may be a longitude of 502
and a latitude of 504, at least as far as we know on
the planet Earth, they do not equal Section 503.
Or, at least not the Section 503 we are referring to.
Definitely Try Again!
Yes, but there is more…
Section 503 prohibits employment
discrimination against individuals based on
disability by federal contractors and

This is part of it….
Section 503 requires that federal contractors and

CORRECT!
Section 503 prohibits federal contractors and subcontractors from
discriminating in employment against individuals with disabilities, and
requires these employers to take affirmative action to recruit, hire,
promote, and retain these individuals. The Final Rule strengthens the
affirmative action provisions of the regulations and also makes changes to
the nondiscrimination provisions of the regulations to bring them into
compliance with the ADA Amendments Act of 2008.
