FAQ

Medical Condition Discrimination and Harassment Discrimination on the basis of a medical condition can include any adverse employment action, including failure to hire, termination, failure to promote, paying an employee less than other similar employees and permitting harassment in the workplace.

For example, people are often denied admission to recovery homes because they take medication to treat opioid use disorder (MOUD); or people who need surgery often face denial of health care based on unfounded stigma regarding their health status or substance use, rather than on their pressing medical needs.

California laws protect you when you have a medical condition that impacts your ability to work. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits employer discrimination based on actual or perceived medical conditions, including firing and other adverse employment actions.

Consider Speaking Up: If you feel safe doing so, consider addressing the behavior directly with your manager. Use ``I'' statements to express how their actions affect you. Report the Behavior: If the discrimination continues, consider reporting it to HR or a higher authority within your organization.

Medical records, along with corroborating testimony, can prove you have or had a disability. However, in cases where discrimination is based on a perceived disability, substantiating employer statements or nonverbal conduct regarding your mental or physical abilities becomes crucial.

Report discrimination to a local Fair Employment Practices Agency (FEPA). If the discrimination breaks both a state and federal law, the FEPA will also send your complaint to the EEOC. Use the EEOC's directory of field offices to find the FEPA near you.

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.

Examples of attitudinal barriers include: Stereotyping: People sometimes stereotype those with disabilities, assuming their quality of life is poor or that they are unhealthy because of their impairments.

Disability discrimination at work your employer not providing reasonable adjustments that would help you to do your job. an employer withdrawing a job offer when they learn of your condition. your employer firing you due to disability-related absences. workplace bullying because you are disabled.

Medical Condition Discrimination and Harassment Under FEHA, California employers that have at least five employees are not allowed to discriminate against an employee based on his or her medical condition, among other protected characteristics. FEHA is enforced by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH).
