SCHIZOPHRENIA IN THE CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE

Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder that affects many CA employees. People with schizophrenia sometimes hear voices, believe that others are broadcasting their thoughts to the world, or are convinced that others are ‘out to get them.’ These experiences can make a person fearful and withdrawn and cause difficulties when he or she is trying to have relationships with other people, including in the workplace. If you have schizophrenia, talk to your doctor about how your employer can work with you to be a productive employee.

If you have schizophrenia, and it is a recognized medical disability, your CA employer may not discriminate against you because of your condition. If you believe that your boss has discriminated against you because of your mental disorder, you may be able to bring a lawsuit with the help of an experienced employment lawyer. Examples of ways in which you employer may have discriminated against you because of your schizophrenia include not allowing you to miss work for medical appointments, not allowing you to take a reasonable time off work, or making fun of you because of your disorder.

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.

OLDER EMPLOYEE MADE FUN OF BECAUSE OF HIS AGE: AGE DISCRIMINATION IS ILLEGAL IN LOS ANGELES AND CALIFORNIA

In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because you are forty years of age or older. Discrimination can occur when your employer does not hire you, fires you, demotes you, does not promote you, or even makes fun of you because of your age, race, religion, sex, or nationality. Federal and CA labor law protect you, the CA employee, from discrimination based on age. Talk to an experienced employment attorney if you are being discriminated against at work because you are ‘older.’

When a 72 year old pharmacist at a local Kmart was allegedly teased and taunted because of her age, she told her managers. According to reports, her managers did not take the proper legal action and stand up for her, nor did they tell the other employees to stop. In fact, the older woman claims that her managers agreed that she was ‘too old’ and forced her to retire. Such behavior is illegal and a classic example of employment discrimination based on age.
