QUESTION

Regarding employee rights under Ada

Asked on Apr 24th, 2017 on Discrimination - Florida
More details to this question:
Hello. I emailed complaint to employer abt recent action by spvsr that was out of line and explained its effect on my chronic serious health condition (that Id not previously disclosed) and inferred need for reasonable accommodation in the very near future. Basically putting them on notice of their responsibility under ada. Management immediately ordered me to a meeting. Present were all supervisors, gen. Mgr, and an h.r. rep. Nothing was mentioned of health condition. The entire meeting was to belittle me..any mistreatment I suffered was my own fault as I provoked.etc Each time I tried to discuss health issue, was interrupted and subject changed to my character flaws etc I asked for a simple accomm.and was flatly denied bcuz "others in dept. much longer didnt want or need" the (slight) change in workflow (that would accommodate the disability that they pretended not to know about even tho email abt it prompted the meeting) retaliation for trying to assert rights? Discrimination?

 Much will depend on whether you are in fact have work restrictions that need accommodating for your disability and whether the actions of the employer violate those restrictions. Once again if you believe you have been discriminated against because of your disability then you present it to your company follow the procedures in human resources protocol and if no relief can file a charge with EEOC as well as Seek legal representatio
