Many people often face discrimination at their workplace due to some mental or physical disability. Although the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) provides the necessary protection against discrimination in the workplace still many employers do not follow the same. In such scenarios, it is often good to take help from a disabilitydiscrimination attorney in California.

What
constitutes Disability discrimination?
As per the law, an employer may not treat a
person with a disability differently as long as he is able to perform his
functions and duties effectively. The hiring process itself should not contain
any discriminatory elements.
Similarly, disabled employees should not be
evaluated on criteria that have no bearing on the completion of their job
duties. If an employer discriminates against their disabled workers for raises,
promotions, or other opportunities, they might be violating both the ADA and
the FEHA.
