What is Disability Discrimination?
Disability discrimination occurs when an employer treats a qualified individual with a disability unfavorably because of their disability. This includes all aspects of employment such as hiring, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoffs, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment.
What Are Reasonable Accommodations?
Reasonable accommodations are adjustments or modifications provided by an employer to enable people with disabilities to enjoy equal employment opportunities. Accommodations vary depending on the needs of the individual but can include things like modifying work schedules, restructuring jobs, or making facilities readily accessible.

Disability Discrimination and Job Accommodations FAQs
What counts as disability discrimination in California?
Disability discrimination happens when an employer treats a qualified employee unfairly because of a disability or perceived disability. This can affect hiring, pay, job assignments, promotions, training, benefits, layoffs, or termination.
What is a reasonable accommodation at work?
A reasonable accommodation is a workplace change that helps an employee with a disability perform the job. Common examples include modified schedules, job restructuring, remote work options, accessible facilities, assistive equipment, or changes to non essential job duties.
Can I sue if my employer denies a reasonable accommodation?
Yes, you may have a claim if your employer refuses a reasonable accommodation or fails to discuss options in good faith. A California disability discrimination attorney can review your request, the employer’s response, and whether the accommodation was reasonable.
Does Employee Law Group handle disability accommodation cases in Torrance and LA?
Yes. Employee Law Group handles disability discrimination and job accommodation cases for California employees in Torrance, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Sacramento County, and nearby areas. The firm helps with case evaluation, legal representation, and accommodation negotiation.
What is the interactive process in a disability accommodation case?
The interactive process is the discussion between the employee and employer about possible accommodations. If an employer ignores your request, delays the process, or refuses to consider reasonable options, that may support a California disability accommodation claim.
Can I be fired for requesting a disability accommodation?
An employer should not fire, demote, punish, or reduce your hours because you requested a disability accommodation. If your employer retaliates after your request, you may have a retaliation claim in addition to a disability discrimination claim.
What proof helps a disability discrimination claim?
Helpful proof includes accommodation requests, doctor notes, HR emails, text messages, job descriptions, schedules, performance reviews, witness names, denial letters, and records showing how your employer treated you after your request.
When should I contact a disability discrimination attorney in California?
Contact an attorney if your accommodation request is ignored, denied, delayed, or followed by retaliation. A California disability discrimination lawyer can review whether your employer violated your workplace rights and what steps may protect your job.
