When an employer refuses to provide a reasonable accommodation, it can put an employee’s health, job performance, and financial stability at risk. California law offers strong protections for employees facing this situation, but many workers don’t realize they have legal recourse.
The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) requires employers to engage in a good-faith interactive process with employees who request accommodations. This means employers must actively work with employees to identify reasonable solutions rather than simply denying requests outright.
Disabilities protected under California law include physical conditions, mental health disorders, and perceived impairments. Employees are not required to disclose detailed medical histories—only enough information to support the need for accommodation.
If an employer denies a request, retaliates, or begins targeting an employee after learning of a disability, this may constitute discrimination. Employees should preserve all emails, texts, and documentation related to the denial or mistreatment.
Speaking with a knowledgeable employment attorney can help employees understand whether an accommodation denial violates FEHA or the ADA. Taking action early can prevent further harm and protect your legal rights.
