DON’T LET YOUR LOS ANGELES, CA EMPLOYER USE YOUR PHYISCAL DISABILITY AS A REASON TO DISCIRMINATE AGAINST YOU
In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your race, religion, sex, age, or recognized medical disability. This means that if you have a physical disability, but can still reasonably perform the functions of your job, your California employer cannot take adverse action against you just because of your disability. Firing you, not promoting you, demoting you, and not providing you with certain health benefits given to other employees are examples of discriminatory behavior.
After a security guard was injured on duty when a car rolled over his right foot, he needed to use a cane to easily get around. When he returned to work, he asked, on his doctor's recommendation, to use a cane on the job, but his employer refused to accommodate him unless he agreed to switch shifts. Your California employer must provide you with reasonable accommodations for your recognized medical disability.
