DOES YOUR BOSS DISCRIMINATE AGAINST YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE DEAF? –CALL SF EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEYS TODAY
Deafness is a condition that causes people to have a lack of sensitivity to sound. The degree of severity depends on each individual. Some people have hearing loss in only one ear, while others have impairments in both ears. If you employer has discriminated against you based on your deafness, you may have a claim against your boss. However, in order to bring a suit, you must be able to show that your deafness has resulted in physical limitations, that you can still perform the essential tasks of your jobs, and that your employer has discriminated against you based on your deafness. Some examples of how your employer may have discriminated against you include your employer not allowing you to miss work for doctors’ appointments, your employer not allowing you to take a reasonable time off work, your employer not providing you with reasonable at-work accommodations for your disability, and your employer not providing you with a sign language interpreter.
