Is Your Employer Providing Reasonable Accommodations?
An important task of employers when hiring is considering how to make appropriate accommodation for people with disabilities, also known as “reasonable accommodation.” If a person is qualified to do a job but requires some changes in the work environment to facilitate job performance with consideration for the disability, those adjustments must be made. It is important to remember that unless the disability is obvious to the employer, the employee must ask for reasonable accommodation.
Conditions where disability accommodation may be required include
- A physical or mental disability
- Medical condition
- Pregnancy
In California, anyone with a disability is protected under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, or FEHA. At Haeggquist & Eck, LLP, we firmly believe in equal rights for all and fight tirelessly for the rights of the disabled. If your employer has failed to make reasonable accommodations for you, reach out to us for help seeking fair and just compensation.
Contact Haeggquist & Eck, LLP online or call (619) 342-8000 to hold an employer accountable to people living with disabilities who need reasonable accommodation.
