Reliable Disability Discrimination Lawyer / Attorneys in Los Angeles That Obtains Results for Clients

Employees suffering from disabilities have protected rights under the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and its companion law in California, the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). Both the ADA and FEHA protect qualified individuals with disabilities and outlaw the following discriminatory actions against disabled employees in the workplace:

• Refusal to hire a qualified applicant because of a disability
• Failure to promote an employee because of a disability
• Taking adverse actions against an employee after reporting a disability, including, but not limited to a write-up, demotion, salary decrease, and/or unwanted transfer
• Refusal to provide an accommodation for a reported disability
• Wrongful termination of an employee because of reporting a disability

An Employee Is Entitled To A Reasonable Accommodation

An employee with a disability may request a reasonable accommodation from an employer. In response, an employer is required to communicate with the employer to find a reasonable accommodation to assist him or her in performing day-to-day job duties, including, but not limited to, the following accommodations:

• Restructuring job duties
• Restructuring hours of work
• Providing general assistance to the employee, e.g., assistance performing physical activities in the workplace
• Allowing time off from work
• Providing equipment to the employee to assist in day-to-day tasks, i.e., ergonomic desks, chairs, and/or computer keyboards
