You Need Medical Documentation. Medical documentation is a fundamental component in proving disability discrimination cases. This type of documentation, typically provided by a healthcare provider, should clearly establish the nature of your disability and how it impacts major life activities.
Evidence in a discrimination case in California typically includes: emails, text messages, recordings, disciplinary forms, termination documents, or a copy of your employment contract if one exists. If you're like most Californians, you spend an inordinate amount of time at work.
To prove discrimination, a complainant has to prove that: they have a characteristic protected by the Human Rights Code Code; they experienced an adverse impact with respect to an area protected by the Code; and. the protected characteristic was a factor in the adverse impact.
You can do that by filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) – a federal organization – or the Department of Fair Employment and Housing – a California organization. Both of these agencies are designed to make the workplace comfortable for all employees.
Direct evidence of discrimination is usually found where an employer admits to the employee or someone else, verbally or in writing, that their intent or motive is to take an Adverse Employment Action (described above) against an employee because the employee is a member of a Protected Class.

You can submit your complaint online with the Employment Discrimination Complaint Form. You can also submit your complaint by email, by postal mail or in person. Submit a complaint via email at EEOintake@twc.texas. If you have questions, call: 512-463-2642 or 888-452-4778.
Mo has a job interview and is offered the job. After Mo tells the employer about their disability, the employer withdraws the job offer.
