Federal, state and local statutes, as well as public policy, create protections and entitlements for qualified individuals with mental and physical disabilities.
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 an employee with a qualified mental or physical disability with all entitlements required by the law.
A complex interaction of federal, state and local statutes creates confusing filing requirements, deadlines and procedures which must be strictly followed before moving forward with a discrimination claim.
