Federal Law – The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects employees from discrimination at work due to a disability.

• Under the ADA, all employers with 15 more or more employees are required to provide reasonable accommodations
• The ADA requires that the physical or mental disability the employee is facing substantiallylimits a major life activity
• Under the ADA, certain damages are capped

State Law – The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) provides much broader protections than the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

• According to FEHA, all employers with 5 more or more employees are required to provide reasonable accommodations
• Under FEHA, there is no requirement that the disability substantiallylimits a major life activity, so more disabilities are covered under state law
• Under FEHA, there are no cap on damages

Once an employee gives notice of the disability, the employer should begin the interactive processto find out an accommodation that is reasonable enough to allow the employee to perform the essential functions of their job.

However, what is reasonable is dependent on a number of factors including:

• the nature of the work
• The nature of the accommodations
• The duration of the accommodations requested
• The burden on the employer
• The effect the accommodations would have on the employer
• The cost to the employer to provide the accommodations
