What is Disability Discrimination look like in the workplace?

Disability discrimination in Los Angeles workplaces remains a significant concern despite strong protections under both federal and California law. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibit employers from treating qualified individuals with physical or mental disabilities unfairly in hiring, promotions, compensation, job assignments, or termination.

These laws also require employers to provide reasonable accommodations—such as modified work schedules, assistive technology, or accessible workspaces—unless doing so would cause undue hardship. In a diverse and competitive job market like Los Angeles, discrimination can take many forms, from outright refusal to hire an applicant with a known disability to more subtle acts like excluding disabled employees from training opportunities, failing to make necessary adjustments, or fostering a hostile work environment.

Employees facing disability discrimination in Los Angeles have the right to file complaints with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) or the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which may investigate and issue a “right to sue” letter. Remedies in successful claims may include back pay, reinstatement, compensation for emotional harm, punitive damages, and orders requiring policy changes to prevent future violations.
