Los Angeles Reasonable Accommodation Lawyer
All qualified individuals have the right to gainful employment, and they should not be discriminated against based on factors such as race, religion, sex, or disability. The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) states that employers are required to make “reasonable accommodations” for employees with disabilities so that they can perform or continue to perform their jobs.
Los Angeles employment lawyer Perry Smith is here to make sure that all employers honor this expectation.
What Is “Reasonable Accommodation”?
Reasonable accommodation refers to changes or additions to the workplace that will enable a person with a physical or mental disability to perform his or her job. Companies and/or employers are expected to provide reasonable accommodations for their employees as long as these accommodations do not create “undue hardship” for the company.
Unfortunately, many employers and / or companies refuse to make reasonable accommodations for disabled employees, claiming that the necessary accommodations constitute an “undue hardship,” when in actuality, they are simply engaging in discriminatory practices.
This behavior is illegal and cannot go overlooked. Los Angeles disability discrimination lawyer Perry Smith is here to make sure that employers and companies provide for the needs of their disabled employees.
