In California, employees with recognized medical disabilities are protected by state and federal law from discrimination resulting from their disability or disorder. Phobia is a common anxiety disorder. Symptoms include an irrational, intense, persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, or people with an excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject.

As a CA employee, you are protected if your phobia has become a disability at your place of work. However, in order to receive the benefits of these laws, you must show your employer that you are disabled as a result of your condition. If you have demonstrated that you are disabled to your employer, he cannot discriminate against you because of your disability, or for any other reason. Ways your employer might discriminate against you include not allowing you to miss work for therapy appointments and not providing you with reasonable on-site accommodations for your phobia.
