The California definition of disability is broader than federal laws. If you are dealing with anything that limits your life activities in a substantial way — a bad back, carpal tunnel, depression, and more — you fall under California’s definition of having a disability and your employer is required to accommodate.
If you have experienced a work-related injury, your employer is required to provide workers compensation. Unfortunately, some employers take a different, illegal approach by terminating these employees after an injury or due to a disability. In some cases, when an injured person returns to work with restrictions, an employer will fire or demote him or her. In all of these cases, you are protected under disability discrimination law — regardless of the size of your employer or how long you have worked with the company.
