Santa Clarita Disability Discrimination Lawyer

If you work in Santa Clarita and believe a physical or mental disability, a medical condition, or a condition your employer thinks you have led to unfair treatment, Eisenberg & Associates is a law firm that represents employees in your position.

How Disability Bias Can Show Up on the Job

An employer who handles an applicant or employee less favorably because of a disability, a medical issue, or a perceived impairment may be engaging in disability discrimination.

Under California law, employees with physical and mental disabilities receive wide-ranging protection. According to California employee rights attorneys, reasonable accommodations may be required in certain situations, and how the law applies to a given employer or circumstance depends on the facts involved.

Warning signs can be subtle. It is unusual for an employer to announce, “Your health is why this position is ending.”

Instead, an employee may find that:

  • A supervisor who once praised your performance suddenly criticizes everything you do.
  • Your position is eliminated shortly after you mention a health issue.
  • Your shifts are rearranged once you ask for a modification.
  • A promotion is handed to a coworker on the assumption that your condition would be a hindrance.
  • Your treatment changes after you come back from medical leave.
  • Managers or colleagues ridicule or talk down to you about your condition.

Circumstances vary from person to person. Our Santa Clarita attorneys examine what occurred and discuss with you whether it could amount to unlawful discrimination.

Ways Our Santa Clarita Lawyers May Support You

A disability-related issue at work can disrupt your livelihood, your finances, and your plans, and deciding how to respond is seldom simple.

At Eisenberg & Associates, our lawyers listen, review the details, and explain your options in direct, easy-to-follow language.

Matters our Santa Clarita lawyers can talk through:

Depending on the situation, California law may view a reasonable accommodation as adjustments such as revised responsibilities, a changed schedule, an alternative work location, leave, or special equipment. Employers can also be expected to speak with the employee quickly and in good faith about what is required.

Eisenberg & Associates can help you gauge your position, consider how to bring up an accommodation request, and explore possible next steps if an employer won’t join the conversation.

Questions Employees Ask

Is disability discrimination something your firm deals with?

Eisenberg & Associates helps employees with workplace legal concerns including disability discrimination, accommodation problems, retaliation, wrongful termination, and connected disputes. We can listen to your circumstances and talk about what may be relevant.

Where do I stand if my employer rejected my accommodation request?

Employers can carry specific legal responsibilities around reasonable accommodation, and the details of your request make a difference. We can look at what you asked for and how your employer answered, then describe the rights that might be involved.

Do I have options if I'm still employed?

Yes. Losing your job is not the only event that can raise legal questions. Depending on the facts, it might be a skipped promotion, fewer hours, a demotion, a refused accommodation, harassment, or other unwelcome changes to your job.

Is retaliation possible if I ask for a change at work?

Depending on the circumstances, employees may be protected against retaliation for protected activity. If you noticed different treatment after making a request or complaint, jotting down what happened can be useful, and we can talk through your situation.
