POOR HEALTH IS NO REASON TO BE FIRED IN CALIFORNIA
In California, your employer cannot discriminate against you because you have a legally recognized medical disability. When a female employee, who was battling breast cancer, was fired from her job without warning, she sued her employer. The woman alleges that her employer’s actions violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, which protects California employs from health discrimination. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you have been discriminated against because of your health.
Your California employer can discriminate against you because of your poor health in many ways, including:
- Firing you
- Not promoting you
- Not providing you with reasonable accommodations for your sickness or disability
