CHRON’S DISEASE IN THE CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE

Many CA employees suffer from Chron’s disease. Chron's disease is a lifelong inflammatory bowel disease where parts of the digestive tract get swollen and have deep sores, or ulcers. While doctors do not know what causes Chron’s, they believe that it is hereditary, meaning that it runs in families. If you, or someone you love, suffer from Chron’s disease and have been discriminated against by an employer as a result, call an experienced employment attorney today.

In CA, it is against the law for an employer to discriminate against an employee because he or she suffers from a recognized medical disability. This means that if you are deemed to have a medical disability, your employer cannot prevent you from taking reasonably amounts of time off for doctor’s appointments. In addition, your employer must provide you with reasonable accommodations for your disability.

If you work in California and believe that because of your disability that you have been the victim of medical disability discrimination at your job, call the legal team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP.
