Disability Accommodation & Medical Leave Requests
Disability Accommodation and Leave Case Representation
You shouldn't have to choose between your health and your job. At Palms Legal Group, we believe that individuals with disabilities deserve equal opportunities and accommodations in the workplace. If you've encountered resistance or were denied a disability accommodation or medical leave, our experienced legal team is here to provide strong representation and ensure your rights are upheld.
Understanding Disability Accommodations and Medical Leave:
Employees with disabilities have the right to reasonable accommodations that enable them to perform their job duties effectively. Additionally, both state and federal laws provide protections for individuals who need medical leave due to their own health conditions or to care for a family member. Common accommodations and leave requests include:
- Reasonable Accommodations: Modifications to work duties, schedules, equipment, or facilities that enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential job functions.
- Medical Leave: Time off from work for medical treatment, recovery from illness or injury, pregnancy-related conditions, or to care for a family member with a serious health condition under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or the California Family Rights Act (CFRA).
- Anti-Retaliation Protections: Protection against retaliation from your employer for requesting accommodations or taking medical leave under applicable laws.
