[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 679613, member: 4888"] The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law, so at a minimum, all employees in the U.S. of employers with 15 or more employees receive that much protection. As I said, some states offer even more protection than the federal law does. California is one of those states that offers more protection than the federal law requires. I think it's only common sense that an employer doesn't have to accommodate a disability they don't know about, or that you have to be able to prove you were discriminated against due to a known disability, if that is the reason you were terminated. It's true an employer does not have to hire a disabled person, but the reason for not hiring cannot be due to the disability. In any case where a disabled person thinks they were discriminated against, I would recommend filing a complaint with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), rather than contacting an attorney. Their contact information is listed on the employment law posters that are mandated to be in most workplaces. [/QUOTE]
