✅ Why Does Relay Conference Captioning (RCC) Matter for Employers? RCC matters because it helps employers meet Federally mandated accommodations for employees with disabilities.

1. RCC Supports Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance.
2. Meets Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Accessibility Standards.
3. Aligns Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act prohibits discrimination based on disability in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
