Expert Witness Consultation
Employment discrimination happens when an employer or supervisor makes an employment decision due to the employee’s class such as gender, race, disability, or other protected category.
Regarding disability, if an employee can perform his or her job’s essential duties with or without reasonable accommodation, the employer or supervisor cannot terminate his or her employment because of the disability. Both state and federal laws protect employees from discrimination.
