California law requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for applicants and current employees with disabilities as long as making such accommodations is not unreasonably hard or expensive. Employees and applicants must generally be proactive about asking for reasonable accommodations and bring it up to their current or prospective employer. Employers are required to consider the applicants\u2019 or employees\u2019 requests and try to work with the employee or applicant to arrive at a solution. This is called the \u201cinteractive process.\u201d If, however, an employer already knows about the employee\u2019s or applicant\u2019s disability, the employer, not the employee, has the obligation to start the interactive process.<\/p><p>Common reasonable accommodations include:<\/p><ul><li>Assigning the employee to a different job position;<\/li><li>Modifying the employee\u2019s work schedule and\/or allowing them time to go to medical appointments;<\/li><li>Allowing the employee more time to complete tasks;<\/li><li>Providing electronic or mechanical aids;<\/li><li>Changing the employee\u2019s work station (such as moving furniture and equipment around, adjusting the desk height, adding grab bars or handles, and providing special seating);<\/li><li>Granting the employee medical leave.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1828b6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1828b6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Disabilities and the Hiring Process<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8318542 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8318542\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The FEHA also prohibits employers from asking persons with disabilities about their disability prior to making a job offer. The only thing an employer may ask an applicant is whether the applicant is able to perform the essential functions of the job. For example, if the applicant is applying for a position as a UPS driver, the employer may lawfully ask if the applicant is able to lift items that weigh 25lbs. The inquiries, however, must be related to the job being applied for, consistent with the employer\u2019s business needs, and be asked to all applicants for the same job.<\/p><p>When a disability is obvious and the employer reasonably believes the applicant needs reasonable accommodation, or when an applicant asks for a reasonable accommodation, whether before or after a job offer, the employer is entitled to inquire about the applicant\u2019s disability, but only for the purpose of understanding how to best accommodate the person. The employer, however, must not disclose information about the person\u2019s disability to anyone, with some limited exceptions.<\/p><p>Once an employer makes a job-offer to someone with a disability, the employer may require questions or tests\/examinations about physical or mental conditions, as long as they are job- related and consistent with the employer\u2019s business needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-59ddbd15 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"59ddbd15\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;tilt&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M0,6V0h1000v100L0,6z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6a34a27e\" data-id=\"6a34a27e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f89c405 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2f89c405\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;slideInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Have you experienced disability discrimination and need legal help?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cf17b4 elementor-align-center elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5cf17b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;slideInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-sink\" href=\"https:\/\/theramirezlegalgroup.com\/free-consultation\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Reach Out Today<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ramirez Legal Group Is Your Disability Discrimination Attorney Who We Are We are an aggressive law firm providing legal help and representation to people located all throughout Southern California with personal injury and employment law matters.
