Wrongful Termination

State and federal laws protect qualified disabled individuals from discrimination based on their disability or because of a physical or mental impairment. A disability is defined as a physical or mental condition that substantially limits a major life activity (such as walking, talking, hearing, seeing, or learning). 

• A qualified individual with disability is an individual who, with or without reasonable accommodation of their disability, can perform the essential functions of their current or desired job.

• A reasonable accommodation is one that enables an employee to perform the essential functions of a job without causing the employer undue hardship. Reasonable accommodations do not generally include displacing other employees or shifting work to other employees.
