Disability & ADA/FMLA

Disability & ADA / Family Medical Leave Act Lawyers

Serving Clients Throughout Florida & Texas

If you are a qualified individual with a disability, you have the right to request reasonable workplace changes to allow you to apply for a job, perform your job, have access to the workplace, or enjoy the same benefits available to other employees. These requested changes are referred to as "reasonable accommodation." Although your employer does not have to grant every request for a workplace accommodation, they should engage in an interactive process to find an alternative accommodation that allows you to perform the essential functions of your job.

Your employer should not take adverse employment action against you for requesting reasonable accommodation. If you have been terminated for making such a request, The Employment Lawyers can help.

What qualifies as a disability?

A disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of your major life activities.

What is a qualified individual?

A qualified individual can perform the essential functions of their job with or without accommodation.

FMLA

The FMLA was designed to allow eligible employees to recover from serious health conditions, bring new children into their families as well as to provide caregiving services to their ill, injured, or disabled immediate family members.

FMLA eligibility requirements are as follows:

  • You must have been an employee at the company for a minimum of 12 months
  • You must have worked a minimum of 1,250 hours in the previous 12 months
  • Your employer must have 50 employees within 75 miles

An employer should not discharge you because you have taken FMLA. If you have been terminated because you took FMLA, The Employment Lawyers can help.
