Have you or a loved one been discriminated against in the work place because of a disability? Do you suffer from a disability that your employer took advantage of? Does your employer deny you the right to take family leave? If the answer to any of these questions is a yes then you have landed on the right page.

Many disabled people experience bad treatment and neglect from their employers. They are also often vulnerable to abuse by fellow staff. At the same time, many able-bodied people are also prevented from taking their designated family leave by their employers. For both of these situations, assistance from a Los Angeles attorney for disability and family leave workplace issues is advised.

A Los Angeles attorney for disability and family leave workplace issues would be able to explain to you what rights you have in such a case. They may be able to identify under which section of the law your case applies and what steps you can take with your employer. The American with Disability Act provides for the protection of physically and mentally disabled employees from discrimination in the hiring, firing and compensation processes, as well as other prohibitions. The American with Disability Act protects both private sector employees as well as those employed by government institutions.

A California employment law lawyer  would also be able to assist in the case where an employee is denied the legal right to take family leave. In Los Angeles employees enjoy protection from both the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA). The CFRA applies when a company has more than 50 employees and the employee in question has served as a full-time employee for a full year.
