PSORIASIS AND LOS ANGELES WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION
Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune disease which affects the skin and joints and that commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin. Many CA employees suffer from psoriasis. These scaly patches are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production which frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area including the scalp.
As a CA employee, you are protected if your psoriasis has become a disability that affects your ability to 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 psoriasis, 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 psoriasis.
