The policy of charging employees who use service animals a fee for cleaning is prohibited under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) because it creates a barrier to the use of service animals, which are essential for individuals with disabilities to perform their jobs. The ADA mandates that individuals with disabilities who use service animals cannot be charged extra fees or subjected to additional costs related to the presence of their service animals. This protection ensures that employees with disabilities have equal access to employment opportunities without being unfairly burdened by costs associated with their necessary aids.

In contrast, prohibiting smoking in all public areas is a general public health policy that applies to everyone and does not discriminate against individuals with disabilities. Requiring a medical examination for jobs that genuinely necessitate such examinations also aligns with the ADA, provided the exam is job-related and consistent with business necessity. Similarly, conducting random drug testing/screening is permitted under the ADA, as long as it complies with applicable laws and regulations and does not disproportionately affect individuals with disabilities.
