12-Disability-2DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION

You have a medically recognized disability and your boss is aware your disability. You have asked for reasonable accommodations to assist you in performing your job functions for your employer. Your employer has ignored or denied your requested accommodations.

You feel that you have been a subject of disability discrimination on your job. You are not certain if you are protected by law against the behavior you are experiencing on the job or at the hands of your employer, whether manifested in employment decisions, policies, recruitment, hiring, or in the way you are treated or accommodated for your disability.

According to the EEOC, disability discrimination occurs when private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies and labor unions discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. You should seek the advice of counsel.
