What Rights Do I Have as a Disabled Employee in San Jose?

As a disabled employee, your employer has various obligations to you under both the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

If an illness affects your ability to perform your regular work duties, immediately report it to your employer. Once you do, your employer should begin engaging with you in what is called the "interactive process." During this process, you and your employer will discuss a number of issues relating to your job and your disability, including:

What is the best way to accommodate your disability in the workplace?
Can your employer change your job duties to allow you to perform your job?
Can the terms of your employment be changed to accommodate your disability?

For example, you may need modifications to your work station, more frequent breaks or an extended leave to deal with your health issues. If your employer fails to make reasonable accommodations, our disability discrimination lawyers will pursue possible claims against your employer, such as:

Failure to engage in the interactive process.
Failure to accommodate your disability.
Disability discrimination.

Client Testimonial:

"I hired Kelly Armstrong to represent me in a wrongful termination claim. Her firm was very knowledgeable and aggressive in representing me against a company that didn't take my claims seriously until I hired Kelly. The firm assembled a team of excellent lawyers that worked night and day for me to give me the best representation possible. I recommend them to employees who need strong lawyers to bring employment claims against employers." - Henry L., January 14, 2013

"I was sexually harassed by my boss and was scared to come forward because I could not afford to lose my job. He did terrible things to me and management didn't respond to my complaints until I hired Kelly Armstrong and her firm. They supported me and represented me with a comprehensive knowledge of sexual harassment law and advocacy until we got a result that I am very happy with. I recommend The Armstrong Law Firm to all sexual harassment victims." - Janet D., January 10, 2013

"My manager began harassing me and discriminating against me after he learned I had a disability. He was very abusive and I am the primary breadwinner for my family and children so I was scared to lose my job. He wrongfully terminated me based on false poor work performance, but The Armstrong Law Firm took my case and made fighting for me and my wrongful termination top priority until they got me a result that allowed my family and I to have closure and move forward with our lives. I am very relieved." - Steve A., January 6, 2013
