In California, your employer must recognize your medical disability and work with you. If you suffer from chronic or severe anemia, a condition that develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells, your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your condition if your anemia has been diagnosed as a medical disability. Anemia is the most common blood condition in the US, affecting about 2.5 million people – many of them California workers. Symptoms of anemia — like fatigue — occur because organs aren’t getting enough oxygen.

Symptoms of anemia occur because organs aren’t getting enough oxygen and include:

• Quick to fatigue
• Loss of energy
• Difficulty concentrating
• Dizziness
• Pale skin
• Leg cramps
• Insomnia

If you suffer from anemia, or any other medical condition, and it has been determined to be a disability, your employer cannot discriminate against you. This means your employer cannot fire you, demote you, not provide you with reasonable accommodations for your disability, or not provide you with certain benefits.
