Understanding Disability Discrimination in the Workplace
Workplace disability discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfairly or doesn’t provide reasonable accommodations because of a physical or mental disability, medical condition, or perceived disability. While almost 1 million California workers age 16-64 have a disability, one-third of workers report experiencing discrimination at work due to their disability.
Discrimination can occur at any stage of employment, from the application and interview process to termination.
Common examples of workplace disability discrimination include:
- Denying reasonable accommodations needed to perform job duties
- Refusing to hire a qualified applicant because of the need for disability accommodations
- Firing an employee after learning of a medical condition or disability
- Harassment or unequal treatment compared to non-disabled peers
- Failing to participate in the interactive process to communicate about accommodations
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), you are entitled to reasonable accommodations for a disability. The ADA requires employers to participate in an interactive process, which is a confidential and good-faith dialogue about a person’s limitations and accommodations.
Only 68.4% of employers say that accommodations are very or extremely effective in the workplace. Accommodations are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, but may include:
- Mobility aids
- Allowing service animals
- Accessible technology, such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, or closed captioning devices
- Modified workspaces, such as through ramps or accessible bathrooms
- Schedule changes to accommodate medical treatment
- A remote or hybrid work schedule
- Reassignment to a vacant position if someone can’t perform essential job duties
