Advocating For Disabled Employees

The Americans with Disabilities Act protects employees with disabilities. Despite the law, many people with disabilities face discrimination and unfair treatment in the workplace. As a disabled employee, you have rights and should not be subjected to illegal treatment at work. At Le Clerc & Le Clerc LLP in San Francisco, our attorneys understand the requirements of the ADA and California disability laws. We are dedicated to helping disabled employees understand their rights. If your rights have been violated, we will help you take legal action to hold your employer accountable for its actions.

You Are Entitled To Reasonable Accommodations

Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to help employees with disabilities perform their job duties, which includes meeting with the employee to determine what type of accommodations are necessary.

Reasonable accommodations in the workplace can include:

  • Providing sign language interpreters for deaf employees or readers for blind employees
  • Making physical changes to the workspace such as installing a ramp
  • Providing a quieter workspace for reducing distractions
  • Providing training materials in an accessible format
  • Providing time off so employees can seek treatment

Our lawyers have experience helping employees with disabilities understand their rights in the workplace, which includes interacting with employees, taking leaves and seeking leave as an accommodation.

You may be able to file a claim if your employer has failed to provide accommodations or did not allow you to take leave because of your disability. It is important to recognize your disability rights to protect your job now and in the future.
