ATROPHY: CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEES SUFFER FROM MEDICAL DISABILITIES
In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because you suffer from a recognized disability. This can include illness, disease, and recognized conditions such as atrophy. Atrophy is the partial or complete wasting away of a part of your body. Causes of atrophy can include poor diet, poor circulation, loss of hormonal support, loss of nerve supply to the target organ, disuse or lack of exercise or disease in the tissue itself.
If you suffer from a medical disability and you have informed your employer, it is his duty to provide you with reasonable accommodations for your disability. This might mean allowing you to miss work for doctor’s appointments and physical therapy for your atrophy. An experienced employment lawyer can help you make sure they are being met.
