Disability Discrimination
The Americans With Disabilities Act (“ ADA
”) prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities and requires
that disabled individuals receive reasonable accommodations at work.
Unfortunately, in recent years it has become very difficult for many
individuals with disabilities to receive the protection of this law. In
California , individuals with disabilities generally prefer to apply for the
protections of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act which provides
much broader protection to individuals with disabilities and medical
conditions. The ADA can be found at Section 12101 of Title 42 of the United
States Code.
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)
(California Government Code Sections 12900 et seq.) prohibits employment
discrimination on the basis of physical disability, mental disability and
medical condition.
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Title 29 of United
States Code Sections 701 et seq.) protects federal employees from disability
discrimination. It also prohibits disability discrimination against employees
of programs receiving federal assistance.
