  1. A Quick Understanding Of Disability Discrimination

  2. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California’s 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.

  3. 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 employee’s essential job functions change

  4. 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 job’s 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 The Kaufman Law Firm, they represent employees who have been victims of disability discrimination. If you believe your employer has broken a labor law against you, talk with them. Located in Los Angeles, California, they represent employees throughout Los Angeles and Southern California. They are dedicated to representing employees in disputes against their employers regarding the FEHA & ADA laws in California FEHA & ADA laws. They have successfully won numerous trials, arbitrations, and appeals and have litigated on behalf of thousands of people just like you. They are dedicated to enforcing the protections for disabled employees of all kinds throughout California.

  5. 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.
