Discrimination against employees extends beyond the initial denial of reasonable accommodations. Retaliation for requesting a reasonable accommodation is a serious violation of the law, and employees have legal recourse to protect their rights.
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act mandates that employers provide qualified individuals with disabilities with reasonable accommodations, unless doing so creates an undue hardship. These modifications allow employees with disabilities to perform the essential functions of their jobs.
Examples of reasonable accommodations include:
The accommodation should not impose an undue burden on the employer's operations. Open communication between employees and employers is crucial in finding mutually beneficial solutions.
Retaliation for requesting a reasonable accommodation can manifest in various ways. Here are some warning signs to be aware of:
It's important to remember that even if an initial request for accommodation is denied, employers are strictly prohibited from retaliating against employees who exercise their rights under California law.
