AUTISTIC EMPLOYEE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY HIS EMPLOYER.

California law clearly states that your employer cannot discriminate against you because you suffer from a recognized medical disability. Discrimination occurs when your employer fires you, demotes you, does not promote you, or does not promote you with the same benefits given to your co-workers, all because of your medical disability. If you have a medical disability and your employer is treating you adversely, call an experienced employment lawyer.

When an autistic employee at a local clothing store was discriminated against by his supervisors, he took legal action. If you suffer from a medical disability, it is up to your employer to provide you with reasonable accommodations that do not place an undue burden on your employer. The clothing store did not provide the employee with such accommodations and as a result he won over $100,000 in damages.
