Thank you for noting the likelihood of retaliation, people never think of that, but you should trust your gut about the odds that your managers/supervisors are that way. Good advice.
Not sure why filing an EEOC complaint should be feared when they always protect against retaliation as well. As the agency said. Thus sounded like a fearful advice segment
You have the right to file EEOC complaint but you should be aware of the risk of being fired for this. Even though it's illegal, the employer can still choose to do so. If you are ok taking that risk, then that's not an issue, but this needs to be taken into consideration.
@@ArkadyItkin The sad part is that a company feels ok firing someone for filing an EEOC. Because that is clearly illegal. It make you think why is their a law if companies don't fear the law? Seems like the penalilites should be greater to grab the attention of the companies who blantly violate the law.
At some point, an employee should be able to get a hold of a doctor for evaluation and medical paperwork. If it takes longer than usual, that employee should notify the employer that they need more time to provide this type of documentation.
I asked for accommodation and was refused. I had back surgery as a result and am no longer employed by the company. now my back is flaring up again is there anything I can do now? it's been 2 years
So your in Sacramento... so am I. I’m most famous for being the operator of the Scandia Sky Screamer that you can see from the i80 Madison exit. Iv just recently gotten medical restrictions (based on a spinal injury) it did actually happen at work but at that time I wasn’t under the influence of THC. But I’m afraid that I can’t get workers comp because I smoke. Is this true? Can you help me? Am I shit out of luck because I smoke weed?
This is not true. You may only be denied a claim if you're injured while being under the influence of marijuana. If you were not, you may have legitimate claim. We do not do workers comp, but if you would like a referral, please email me directly with the details of your injury and how it occurred arkady@arkadylaw.com
Technically, an employer can choose to do anything. The question is whether it would be lawful. If an employer rescinds a job offer in the middle of the accommodation process, the question is what the actual reason for withdrawing the job offer is. If that reason is independent of the applicant's disability that it would be lawful. If there is evidence that the employer's withdrawal of job offer is discriminatory, then it will be unlawful.
@@nikee0515 They are free to make any business decisions they want including canceling any vacant positions they having, assuming they do it for legitimate, non discriminatory reasons. Whether it's communicated by e-mail or otherwise, with or without signature does not matter.
@@nikee0515 this really depends on all the other surrounding facts and circumstances of the situation. You should consult your local attorney to determine your legal and practical options.
@@rodvan-zeller6360 you are quite welcome. Same applies because it's part of the same disability laws under California FEHA (Fair Employment and Housing Act).
What if I was hired part-time and receive ssdi and my employer still wanted me to work more hours, cause I lost my ssdi benefits recently after I talk to management about how I can only work full-time and no longer have that job are benefits
