Types of disability discrimination we can help with
The Americans with Disabilities Act is a federal law that provides important protection to disabled individuals throughout the United States, including in San Diego. The ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability. California also prohibits discrimination based on disability through the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).
Unfortunately, despite both state and federal law prohibiting companies from discriminating against the disabled, workers with impairments still routinely experience illegal treatment.
The law doesn’t just guarantee you the right to hold a job you’re qualified for despite your disability. It protects you and prohibits any type of discrimination in the terms and conditions of employment.
Some of the different kinds of discrimination that you could experience, and that our firm can help you fight, include:
- Refusal to hire you because of your disabling condition
- Firing you because of your condition
- Failing to provide raises or promotions due to your condition
- Preventing you from accessing any employee benefits
- Otherwise treating you differently in any terms or conditions of employment because of your disability
- Imposing a job-related requirement that seems neutral but that has the effect of discriminating against more individuals with disabilities without a bona fide reason for the requirement (this is called disparate impact discrimination)
- Allowing other employees to create a hostile work environment, or to treat you unreasonably badly at work, because of your condition (this is called hostile work environment discrimination).
Our legal team has represented clients facing a wide variety of different kinds of discriminatory behavior, including many of these unlawful activities.
If you believe you’ve been affected by any type of discrimination, you don’t have to just live with it. You can reach out to a San Diego ADA & disability discrimination lawyer to hold the company accountable.
The ADA & reasonable accommodations
Employers are not just prohibited from discrimination. In some cases, they are actually expected to take steps to facilitate opportunities for qualified disabled workers.
This includes making reasonable accommodations to allow a worker with a disability to perform essential job functions, even if their disability requires some modifications to the position. Examples of reasonable accommodations may include:
- Schedule adjustments such as offering a flexible schedule
- Making adjustments to the workplace, such as allowing a disabled employee to work remotely or making physical changes to the workspace, such as providing a chair
- Providing specialized equipment or software, such as ergonomic tools or a screen reader
- Reassigning an employee to a vacant position they’re qualified for if they become unable to do their current job as a result of their disabling condition
Employers are expected to make these accommodations if they are covered by the ADA and if a disabled employee requests them in order to be able to participate in the workforce.
