Disabled people shall not be discriminated against in any way, shape, or form. But it goes further than you may believe.
For example:
The employer gets required to make reasonable accommodations for the employee with disabilities. California employers must provide “reasonable accommodations” for employees with disabilities or illness. Disability discrimination may occur if companies make only partial accommodations.
Usually, they do this and then fire the employee. The person with a disability or illness can inform the supervisor for human resources.
So if they require unique accommodation, that is the first step.
There are laws in place to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities residing in, or employed in California. These are the federal American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).
So they protect the person with disabilities so that handicapped people can have a livelihood.
These laws also protect employees with severe medical conditions. So that way, they can perform the essential functions entailed with the job.
So when federal and California laws get violated, we help sue. We recover victims of the damages they deserve — employer’s
As discussed, federal and state statutes protect employees. Furthermore, the company must adhere to these laws. So their mission includes making “reasonable accommodation.”
Hence, employees with disabilities get protected under the law. And this is including the American Disabilities Act. In effect, the employer in fulfilling their duty must discuss employee needs.
That way, they may enable the worker to perform the essential functions of their job.
Also, accommodations enable employees with disabilities to perform their job-related duties. So this gives disabled employees the same opportunities and benefits as other employees.
The employer must adhere to state and federal laws at all times. These laws say they must provide reasonable accommodations for disabled employees.
But there is a limit to their duties under the law.
The employer “failing to comply” with discrimination laws involving the disabled employee may include:
A qualified prospect files a disability discrimination claim when not hired due to disability. Hence the employer would be liable. But the employer had to terminate the person or not make reasonable accommodations.
There are several main areas to prove this claim:
