At Wilshire Law Firm, our award-winning team is committed to helping employees understand their rights and pursue justice.
What Is Disability Discrimination?
Disability discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfairly because of a disability or perceived disability. Examples include:
- Refusing to provide reasonable accommodations
- Denying promotions or job opportunities
- Harassment based on disability
- Wrongful termination related to a disability
California law, including the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), provides strong protections for workers with disabilities.
Your Rights Under California Law
