Disability Discrimination
Disability discrimination happens when an employer or supervisor makes an employment decision due to the employee’s disability. If an employee can perform his or her job’s essential duties without reasonable accommodation, the employer or supervisor cannot terminate her employment because of the disability. Both state and federal laws protect employees from discrimination.
Failure to Provide Reasonable Accommodation
State and federal laws allow changes in the workplace that enables a qualified employee with a disability to perform the core duties of her job. These cannot create undue hardships by infringing on the rights of other employees, impairing workplace safety, or requiring significant monetary expense.
