COLITIS CAN BE A MEDICAL DISABILITY AT WORK
Almost 2 million people, many of them California employees, are estimated to suffer from Colitis. Colitis is the acute or chronic inflammation of the tissue lining your large intestine or bowel and causes inflammation and sores in the top layers of the lining of the large intestine. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, rapid weight loss, and fever, and constipation.
If your colitis is a recognized medical disability, your employer must provide you with reasonable accommodations for your disability. This includes allowing you to miss work for doctor’s appointments, among other accommodations. Additionally, your employer cannot discriminate against you because you suffer from colitis. An experienced employment lawyer can go over what is and is not discrimination in the workplace.
