Should a physical or mental disability, a medical condition, or a perceived disability lead to unfair treatment on the job, Palo Alto employees can rely on Eisenberg & Associates for knowledgeable disability discrimination lawyers.
Treating an employee or applicant worse because of a disability, medical condition, or perceived disability qualifies as disability discrimination when an employer does it.
Protection for employees with physical and mental disabilities is extensive under California law, extending to those employed in Palo Alto. Employers with five or more employees typically fall under the state’s anti-discrimination law. Covered employers must also provide reasonable accommodations when the law requires them.
Not every instance is easy to notice.
You’re unlikely to hear “Your disability is why we’re letting you go” from an employer.
Possible red flags:
Every case has its own set of facts. Our California disability rights lawyers will review what happened to you and help you decide whether it could involve unlawful discrimination.
Figuring out the next move is tough when disability discrimination puts your job, income, and future in play.
Listening to your story, examining the facts, and explaining your legal options in plain language is what our disability discrimination attorneys at Eisenberg & Associates who serve Palo Alto do.
Concerns our disability discrimination lawyers can take on:
Job duties, work schedules, work locations, medical leave, and equipment are all areas where reasonable accommodation may involve changes when required by law, states California’s Civil Rights Department. Timely, good-faith participation in the interactive process is also expected of employers whenever accommodation may be necessary.
Eisenberg & Associates helps you understand your rights, the accommodations you may be entitled to request, and the steps available when your employer refuses to work with you.
Employment law is the heart of what Eisenberg & Associates does, representing employees who deal with workplace discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and other employment problems.
