Washington Employment Lawyer: Disability Discrimination
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) prohibit employers from discriminating against individuals based on disability. This prohibition applies in:
- The Application Process
- Hiring
- Promotion
- Pay and Benefits
- Discharge and termination
In addition to prohibiting discrimination in hiring, promotion, pay and termination, Washington law and federal law requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for disabled employees. Disability discrimination claims can be based on:
- Failure to hire due to a disability;
- Failure to promote or taking some other adverse employment action due to a disability;
- Failure to reasonably accommodate a disability;
- Termination because of disability; and
- Retaliation because of disability accommodations or requests for accommodations.
