Disability Discrimination Law In Los Angeles
Workers with physical or mental disabilities are afforded extensive rights under California and federal law. Discriminating against an employee because of a handicap is prohibited. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal statute that forbids workplace discrimination based on a person’s handicap.
