The purpose of this study is to investigate in depth the lived employers experiences of utilizing employment among people with mentally disabilities. Phenomenological approach was used for this study. A total of 9 employer on work of the mentally disabled people were recruited as research participants Data was collected through in-depth interviews from March, 2017 to September, 2018. Transcribed data from audio recordings on interviews were analyzed using the Braun & Clarke method. 6 clustered themes consisting of 12 sub-themes emerged through the qualitative data analysis and they include the following: 1) Getting to realize that a vague concern; 2) Being forced to withstand others' persuasion; 3) Fluctuating on boundaries of my work; 4) Moving forward from individual to team; 5) Being together work expected workers with mentally disabled; and 6) Seeking for company progress. Study findings suggest that expanding employment and improving its quality for work of the mentally disabled people are needed. Additionally, the field of mental health needs an increase in the experiences of employment with expertise in dealing with employers on work of the mentally disabled people.
