Helping Workers Get the Accommodations they Need
Capable workers sometimes need special accommodations so that they can do their jobs. At Working Law Group, we protect the rights of these workers by helping them get the accommodations they need — or by taking action against employers who fail to provide them.
Our Ventura, California, law firm serves workers throughout the area including Oxnard and Ojai. We are experienced employment attorneys who focus on helping you understand your rights as an employee so that you can better protect your rights.
The Law on Disability Discrimination
You may not think of yourself as disabled, but, if you have certain special needs, disability discrimination law often provides that your employer should make reasonable accommodations to enable you to do your job. This can be as simple as providing a ramp for someone in a wheelchair, short additional breaks for someone who needs to regularly check their blood sugar level, or providing a wrist rest for a person experiencing the warning signs of carpal tunnel.
Many people don't know that it is important to inform their employer of their condition in order to receive the protection of the law — no matter what type of condition or handicap they may be experiencing. If you have any of the following or similar conditions, consider speaking to an attorney to ensure your rights are protected:
- Glaucoma, cataracts, and other eye conditions (including blindness)
- Diabetes
- Carpal tunnel
- Cancer
- Hypoglycemia
- Multiple Sclerosis
