An applicant who is fully qualified uses a wheelchair. Under FEHA, before refusing to hire, the employer must:

c.Automatically reject the applicant for safety reasons
d.Require the applicant to waive all disability rights
Explanation
FEHA requires employers to provide reasonable accommodation for a qualified applicant or employee with a disability, unless doing so would cause undue hardship. The employer must engage in a good-faith interactive process; it cannot simply refuse to hire because of the disability.
