DEAF WORKERS MUST BE PROVIDED WITH REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THEIR DISABILITY

California employees who work for the state or local government and in the private sector must be reasonably accommodated by their employer for their disability. Take the case of a deaf FedEx worker. FedEx claim that since it had a compliance policy and an internal grievance policy for handling employee complaints, it had acted in good faith to make reasonable accommodations for the death man. The US Supreme Court disagreed. An experienced employment attorney can let you know if your employer is not reasonably accommodating your needs.

Additionally, in CA your employer cannot discriminate against you because you have a recognized medical disability. Discriminatory actions include demoting you, not promoting you, firing you, or not providing you with benefits available to the rest of your co-workers. So, along with providing you reasonable accommodations for your disability, and these accusations vary according to your disability, Federal and CA law protect you from workplace disability discrimination.
