In Pennsylvania, almost every employer with more than four employees is subject to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act. If they have 15 or more employees, they are also subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Both laws dictate the regulations employers are required to meet to stay compliant and equitable in their hiring and employment processes.
Weisberg Cummings, P.C., has more than 50 years of combined experience in PA’s employment laws. If you feel as though you have been wrongfully discriminated against under the ADA or other disability-based guidelines, we want to help you stand up for what’s right and take back the compensation you may be entitled to.
Understanding Potential ADA Violations
There are many ways an employer may violate the ADA in the workplace — the problem is that most employers and employees are not familiar enough with the law to know or report these instances. Knowing your rights is critical to staying safe at work. Understand that you may have legal protection and recourse if you experience:
- Denial of reasonable accommodations:A lack of accommodations or failure to provide them when requested is the most common type of ADA claim. For example, an office may not have an accessible entrance in accordance with the ADA. If you bring this up to your employer and they do not attempt to rectify the situation immediately, you may have a claim eligible for litigation.
- Perceived disability discrimination: Disability discrimination may appear as a failure to hire, a failure to promote or a failure to provide the same benefits to someone with a disability as other employees. If you believe you are treated differently in any way than other employees in similar positions, it may be worth gathering evidence and presenting it to one of our PA ADA violation lawyers.
- Retaliation or wrongful discharge: Even after the hiring and onboarding process, people with disabilities may experience challenges in the workplace. It is their right to make a claim against these actions, but some employers will see this as an opportunity to illegally discharge them from some or all of their duties. Weisberg Cummings has seen this before, and we know precisely how to pursue legal recourse to help you achieve favorable results.
