Heart disease kills one American every 34 seconds. Many California employees suffer from heart disease, which comes in several forms, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, or heart arrhythmias. If you are an employee in CA and suffer from heart disease, it is important that you take care of yourself while you are at your job so that you don’t become a victim of this deadly disease.

If your condition has rendered you disabled and you have shown proof of your disability to your employer, your employer must recognize that you are disabled. Both CA and federal law protect employees with disabilities. Your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your disability.

Ways your employer might discriminate against you include:

• Not allowing you to take time off work for doctor’s appointments
• Not providing you with reasonable accommodations for your disability at work
• Not promoting you or demoting you because of your disability
