CA EMPLOYERS CANNOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST AN EMPLOYEE BECAUSE HE HAS CANCER
In California, if you have a documented medical disability, such as cancer, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you. Cancer causes about 13% of all deaths in the US and occurs when a group of cells display uncontrolled growth, invade the tissue and sometimes metastasize. Nearly all cancers are caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the affected cells.
If you suffer from any type of cancer and have informed your employer of your medical disability, your employer must make reasonable accommodations for your disability. These accommodations include allowing you to miss work for treatments and other medical appointments.
If you are a CA employee who suffers from cancer and believe that because of your cancer you have been the victim of medical discrimination at your job, call the legal team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).
