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.
You should call the EEOC at 1-800-669-4000 if you think the law may have been violated. A person with a disability must be able to perform the job he or she is applying for or currently holds, with or without reasonable accommodation.
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.
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.
Disability discrimination (DD) is when an individual is treated differently, unfairly, or neglected due to their disabled status. This can take many forms, such as disparaging verbal statements, failing to provide reasonable accommodations at work, or terminating employment.
Disability harassment can include negative or offensive remarks or jokes about a person's disability or need for a workplace change, and other verbal or physical conduct based on a person's disability.
How does a person file a complaint of employment discrimination? Online by creating an account and using our interactive California Civil Rights System, CCRS. Call the Contact Center at 800-884-1684 (voice). Print and fill out a hard copy of the Intake Form that matches your issue and send it.
Evidence takes several forms. It includes your testimony, which is the very first evidence gathered by EEOC. It also includes written materials such as evaluations, notes by your employer, letters, memos, and the like. You will be asked to provide any documents you may have that relate to your case.
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.
