Los Angeles Disability Discrimination Lawyer
The California Fair Employment & Housing Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of physical disability, mental disability and medical condition. Medical condition means either cancer or genetic characteristics. Physical disability includes physiological and anatomical conditions that affects one or more body systems and limits an individual's ability to participate in major life activities. Mental disability includes any mental or psychological disorder such as mental impairment, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness or specific learning disabilities that limits a major life activity. California law requires employers to make reasonable accommodation for the known disabilities of employees to enable them to perform a position's essential functions, unless doing so would produce undue hardship to the employer's operations.
