A Quick Understanding Of Disability
Discrimination
2
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and
Californias Fair Employment and Housing Act
(FEHA) protect the rights of qualified employees
with disabilities to receive reasonable
accommodations at work. When employers fail to
provide reasonable accommodation or discriminate
against employees because of a disability, they
can be held legally accountable. As a lawyer
dedicated to protecting employees rights, I help
employees who have been victims of disability
discrimination take advantage of their
protections under state and federal employment
laws.

Understanding Disability Discrimination
Employers have the responsibility to provide
reasonable accommodations to employees with
disabilities who can still perform the essential
functions of a job with or without that
accommodation. Examples of reasonable
accommodations include
Modified work schedules or part-time work
Accessible facilities
Special equipment or modifications of existing
equipment
Transfer or reassignment to another position the
employee is qualified for should the employees
essential job functions change

California Feha Ada Laws
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and
the California Fair Employment and Housing Act
(FEHA) protect qualified people with
disabilities but who can do the job. It requires
employers to make reasonable accommodations to
allow disabled people to perform a jobs
essential functions. For employees with a
disability or serious medical condition who can
perform the essential functions of the job, these
laws provide protection from discrimination. At

How The Ada Protects Employees' Leave
Some employers mistakenly believe that there is
no need to accommodate an employee who has
exhausted his or her protected leaves under the
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or California
Family Rights Act (CFRA). However, in some cases
employees could obtain leave for medical reasons
apart from FMLA/CFRA leave as a reasonable
accommodation under the ADA or FEHA.
Determining whether this type of leave is
possible requires a nuanced understanding of the
law. I can help you understand how federal and
state employment laws apply to your unique
situation. I provide candid advice and aggressive
representation should filing a claim be necessary.
