Portland Disability Discrimination Lawyer

Oregon Disability Discrimination in the Workplace

Discriminating against an employee due to their disability is illegal. With the help of a Portland employment law attorney, you can fight against this type of discrimination if you have suffered it at your job. An attorney can also assist employers facing allegations of disability discrimination by past or present employees. There are many ways in which this type of discrimination can manifest, whether in the application or hiring process, in relation to promotions or seniority, pay and benefits or termination and discharge. These are specifically prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Some specific occurrences which amount to disability discrimination include:

Decision not to hire based on disability
Denying a promotion due to disability
Demoting or otherwise denying the right to execute one's job due to disability
Firing or inviting or forcing resignation by reason of disability
Refusing to reasonably accommodate a disability
Retaliating due to requests for disability accommodations
