In California, it is against the law for your employer to treat you unfairly because you are obese. Unfortunately for extremely over-weight employees, studies have shown weight bias by employers at every stage of employment, from hiring to salaries to firing. If you believe you are being discriminated against because you are obese, call an experienced employment attorney.

Currently, obesity is not protected against discrimination under the Civil Rights Act as a protected category (like racial, religious, age, or gender discrimination). However, the ADA covers individuals with recognized medical disabilities. A clinically obese employee might be considered to have a disability and your employer cannot discriminate against you if you suffer from a disability.

If you are an obese CA employee who believes you are or have been the victim of weight bias at your job, call the knowledgeable employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg.
