Accommodating people with disabilities at the workplace is not just the right thing to do, it's the law. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act, as well as the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act, require companies to make a reasonable accommodation so people with disabilities can continue to work. Employers cannot put an undue burden on people with disabilities.
The disability and failure to accommodate laws are intricate and there are certain procedural points you will want to make certain you accomplish in order to protect your rights. Of the two sets of laws in this area, the California State Law under the Fair Employment and Housing Act is the stronger of the two, giving more protection to persons with disabilities.
Often, a failure to accommodate your disability may spill over into discrimination and harassment because the employer or other employees treat you differently and may even seek retaliation through a demotion or wrongful termination. Malicious employers and co-workers may intentionally make it tough for you to keep working. They do not realize that all you want is fair treatment, and for them to follow the law.
