Pasadena Reasonable Accommodations Attorneys
If you need changes at work because of a disability, medical condition, mental health condition or pregnancy-related limitation, California law may protect your rights. Employers are expected to consider reasonable accommodations that help qualified employees perform essential job duties. If your employer ignores your request, delays the process or retaliates against you, a reasonable accommodations employment lawyer can help you understand your options and take appropriate action.
At The Azat Law Group, we represent employees throughout Pasadena, Los Angeles and Southern California who have been denied workplace accommodations. With more than 25 years of combined experience, our attorneys use an evidence-first approach to every case. As former federal and state prosecutors, we carefully examine the facts, evaluate the law and develop a strategy tailored to each client’s circumstances.
What Is A Reasonable Workplace Accommodation?
A reasonable accommodation is a workplace or job adjustment that allows a qualified employee with a disability or medical condition to perform essential duties. Employers are not always required to provide the exact change requested. However, they should participate in the interactive process and consider effective alternatives before denying a request.
Common workplace accommodations may include:
- Modified work hours or additional breaks
- Remote or hybrid work when appropriate
- Ergonomic workstations or assistive equipment
- Leave for medical treatment or recovery
- Adjustments to nonessential job duties
- Reassignment to an available position
An employer should review these circumstances individually rather than automatically rejecting your request.
Who May Qualify For Workplace Accommodations?
California employees who may qualify for reasonable adjustments include those with:
- Physical disabilities
- Chronic illnesses
- Mental health conditions
- Pregnancy-related limitations
Protection is not limited to visible disabilities. For example, anxiety or depression may support a request when they affect your ability to complete job duties.
Our reasonable accommodation lawyer in California can review your request and medical documentation. If your employer retaliates against your accommodation request, that conduct may take the form of reduced hours, demotion or termination.
