[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 679596, member: 4888"] It is absolutely not true that you have to be declared disabled by ssi before disability laws apply to you. They apply to every employee of any company that employs 15 or more people. We are a very small company (barely over 15 employees), and we still deal with at least one of these cases a year. ANYONE who has a disability (and all that's required is information from your doctor that you do, indeed, have a disability as it is defined in ADA guidelines). Some state laws provide even more protection than federal law. The caveat is that you have to be able to perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodation. It is up to you to let your employer know you have a disability and what accommodations you need. Having said that, if the main function of the job is to make attendance calls, I'm not sure what accommodations exist that would enable you to do that job. Life's too short to stay in a job you absolutely despise. I hope you find a good solution so you can be happy about work again. [/QUOTE]
