What is Considered Disability Discrimination?
Under both the ADA and FEHA, it is illegal to discriminate against an individual because of their disability. This includes discrimination in all aspects of employment, from hiring and firing to job assignments and promotions. It also encompasses discrimination in housing, public accommodations, and transportation.
There are two types of disability discrimination: direct discrimination and indirect discrimination. Direct disability discrimination occurs when an individual is treated less favorably than others because of their disability. Indirect disability discrimination occurs when a policy or practice that appears to be neutral has a negative impact on people with disabilities and is not necessary to accomplish a legitimate business goal.
