Many California employees suffer from panic disorder or panic attacks. A panic attack is an anxiety disorder characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms. Physical symptoms may include chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or abdominal distress. In the middle of a panic attack, your heart might pound and you may feel sweaty, weak, faint, or dizzy along with the sense of fear. These attacks can last anywhere from minutes to hours.

While panic attacks can be embarrassing and disabling, they can be controlled through therapy and/or medication. However, if your panic attacks have rendered you disabled, and you have shown this disability to your employer, CA and federal employment laws protect you. If you are disabled, your employer has an obligation to provide reasonable accommodations to you so that you can perform the essential functions of your job.

If your panic disorders have been confirmed as a disability and you feel your employer has discriminated against you as a result of your disability, the experienced employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H.

California employees who are obese face weight discrimination in their work place. According to a recent Yale University study, obesity discrimination on the job is as common as racial discrimination. Additionally, the study showed that women are twice as likely as men to report weight discrimination and that they feel the effects of the discrimination before they are even what is considered to be medically obese.

Females in the work place start to notice that their employers discriminate against them because of their weight at around 27 BMI. A person is usually not considered to be obese until their BMI reaches 30. While the Civil Rights Act of 1964 established federal law on employment discrimination and identified categories protected by discrimination, it does not identify weight as a protected characteristic. As a result this federal law does not provide direct protection for individuals who have been discriminated against by their employer because they are obese. However, if your obesity has become a disability, an experienced employment lawyer will be able to help you defend yourself against your employer.

If you are a California employee and you feel your employer has discriminated against you or is currently discriminating against you as a result of your obesity, call the experienced legal team of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg. Our knowledgeable California employment lawyers know how to represent your needs. Call us at Law Offices of David H.

Under CFRA (California Family Rights Act), established to protect you, the CA employee, your employer bears the burden of determining whether your leave is protected under its regulations. When a recent Continental Airlines employee missed the allowable number of work days after being hospitalized for an illness, he told his friends he was sick, but not his employers at Continental. As a result of his unexplained absences, the employee was fired. However, the Court sided with the employee and stated that it was his employer’s duty to ask the employee directly if more information was necessary to determine if CFRA was being sought.

To qualify for CFRA, you are required to provide, at the minimum, verbal notice sufficient so that your employer is aware you need CFRA qualifying leave. There are other notification and eligibility requirements you must meet as an employee in order to qualify for CFRA. An experienced employment attorney will be able to help you determine if you meet the requirements.

Discriminating against you, an employee, because of your age is illegal in any workplace. The Police Department is no exception.

Are you a California employee who is being recruited by a company your current employer considers to be competition? Or have you already started at your new company, but your old employer is trying to restrain you from conducting your business? According to the CA Supreme Court, your employer is not acting in accordance with the law.

The California Labor Codes states that your employer cannot restrain you from going to work for a competitor or from contacting clients of your former company. Additionally, your employer cannot by contract limit you from engaging in your profession, trade or business. These contracts are often known as non-compete contracts. There are, however, a few exceptions to this non-compete rule which an experienced employment attorney will be able to go over with you.

If your current or former employer is attempting to enforce a non-compete clause against you, CA law is on your side. If you are in California, call the skilled legal team of Law Offices of David H.

A cataract is a clouding of varying degrees that develops in the crystalline lens of your eye or in its envelope. Many employees suffer from cataracts, which can be caused by old age, genetics, eye injury, or UV ray exposure. Potentially blinding if left untreated, cataracts typically progress slowly, causing near-sightedness and vision loss. If you suffer from cataracts and have shown them to your employer to be a disability, your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your disability.

Ways your employer might discriminate against your because of your cataract disability include not allowing you to miss work for doctor’s appointments, not providing you with interactive computer software or Braille materials due to your visual impairment, and not providing you with reasonable accommodations for your disability.
