Persons with disabilities are deprived of equal access to opportunities and resources in society more so over to the workplace. The environment and society dictate what they cannot do due to the presence of barriers to accessibility. These lapses were trying to be filled in by the private and government sector through the creation of policies and programs to eliminate discrimination thus promoting diversification. However, despite numerous laws and bills passed in Congress, poor implementation results in inefficiency. The study aimed to determine the effect of the perception of companies in terms of PWD accommodation in the workplace on the level of compliance with the Magna Carta for Persons with Disabilities (RA 10524). This study is grounded on the Social Model Theory of Disability discussing that inability of PWDs is a result of how the society was built and not because of their disability. A survey questionnaire was used to test the presented null hypothesis. Quantitative data were processed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and analyzed using simple regression analysis to determine if there is a statistically significant effect. Results revealed that employers perception of PWD accommodation has no significant effect on compliance with the Magna Carta for People with Disabilities. Review of existing policies and procedures for companies who currently employ PWDs is recommended to check the accommodation needed in the workplace.
