Mental Disability Discrimination
These laws also provide guarantees of reemployment to eligible employees who take their job protected leave of absence.
Disability discrimination occurs when an employer treats a qualified employee or applicant individual with a disability unfavorably because she has a disability. Disability discrimination may also occur when an employer fails to provide a qualified employee with a mental or physical disability with all entitlements required by the law.
A complex interaction of federal, state, and local statutes create confusing filing requirements, deadlines and procedures which must be strictly followed before moving forward with a discrimination claim.
If your employer has treated you adversely, you may feel lost and unsure if you are protected under the law.
