What Is Disability Leave?

Disability leave is unpaid time off from work that is provided for the benefit of disabled workers. Employers who terminate or penalize a disabled worker for taking disability leave in accordance with state or federal law may be held liable for any damages suffered by the disabled worker.

Our firm handles cases involving disability leave issues as well as family and medical leave issues, including cases in which an employer has violated the Family and Medical Leave Act or the California Family Rights Act.

Disability Discrimination

Disability discrimination is prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. Our firm handles disability leave as well as disability discrimination cases.
