Understanding Disability Retaliation

Disability retaliation occurs when an employer punishes an employee for asserting their rights under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

This retaliation can happen after an employee:

Requests a reasonable accommodation
Takes disability-related medical leave
Files a complaint about discrimination

Participates in a workplace investigation
Supports a coworker’s disability claim

Retaliation is illegal, regardless of whether the underlying accommodation or complaint is ultimately granted. At Falakassa Law, we represent employees across California who have been targeted for standing up for their rights.

Examples of Retaliation After a Disability Disclosure

Disability-related retaliation can take many forms—some obvious, others more subtle. What matters is whether the employer’s actions were motivated by your disability status or your request for accommodations.

Examples include:

Termination shortly after disclosing a disability
Sudden negative performance reviews or write-ups
Reassignment to undesirable duties or locations
Isolation or exclusion from meetings or projects
Denial of promotions or advancement opportunities
Creating a hostile work environment

If you experienced a noticeable shift in treatment after asserting your rights, you may be the victim of retaliation.
