DO YOU HAVE A MEDICAL DISABILITY? DON’T LET YOUR CA EMPLOYER USE IT AS A REASON TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST YOU.

If you are a California employee with a recognized medical disability, your employer cannot use your disability as a reason to discriminate against you. The ADA is a law that protects you, the CA employee, from adverse treatment which results from your recognized medical disability. The ADA defines ‘disability’ as an impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a record of such an impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment. Major life activities include everything from walking and talking to bodily functions.

When a large food service distributor allegedly violated federal law by failing to allow employees with disabilities to return to work without a full-duty, no-restriction doctor’s release, the employees stood up for their rights and hired an experienced employment attorney to help defend them. The employees claimed that though they had been on leave, they were able to return to work with some physical restrictions, and were still able to perform their jobs, so they should be allowed to do so. The judge agreed and awarded them almost $100,000 in damages.

If you believe that you are a victim of discrimination based on your recognized medical disability, you should contact the skilled employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014. Call us for a free consultation. You can also visit us at www.discriminationattorney.com to learn more about medical disabilities and discrimination.

WHITE EMPLOYEES ARE STANDING UP AGAINST DISCRIMINATION IN THE LA & CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE

In California, it is against the law for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of his or her race or color. When we think of racial discrimination, we usually think of blacks and Asians and Hispanics being targeted for the color of their skin. However, more white men and women — weary of a generation of minority racial preferences and concerned about job security in this feeble economy — are joining minorities in crying foul and standing up against adverse treatment in the workplace based primarily on the color of their skin.

An employer can discriminate against you, the black, white, Hispanic, or Asian, employee, in many ways. Examples include not hiring you, firing you, demoting you, not promoting you, and / or not providing you with equal benefits as your co-workers. CA and federal law protect you from discrimination at your place of work. Protect yourself and call an experienced employment lawyer today.

WORRIED YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR JOB IN LA COUNTY? TALK TO YOUR CA EMPLOYER ABOUT WORK SHARING.

While the economy seems to be improving, many employers are still worried about their bottom line. Though this is understandable, you need to make sure that your bottom line — your job — is not being placed at risk in the process. One way you can ensure that your job remains secure during this time of economic insecurity is to consider work and pay options. Talk to your employer about working something out that makes both of you happy.

One method many CA employees are turning to is called work-sharing. With work sharing, you reduce your weekly hours and pay, sometimes by 20 to 40 percent, and then the state makes up some of the lost wages, usually half, from its unemployment fund. As with any employment decision, make sure your CA employer doesn’t let your race, religion, age, gender, or nationality factor into his decision-making. It is against the law for your employer to make an employment decision affecting you based on any one of these reasons.

If you are a CA employee who believes that because of your race, gender, age, religion, or nationality that you have not been provided with an opportunity such as work-sharing, call the hard working legal team of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014. Our skilled employment attorneys will provide you with a free consultation regarding your legal rights.
