Legal Question in Disability Law in California

Employers are entitled to require verification of 'disability limitations' and need for 'accommodation' if the employee claims their disability limits their ability to do the functions of the job unless it is obvious. Being in a wheelchair does not necessarily mean you can't do what was requested. Every case and claim is fact dependent. Whether this request is somehow inappropriate or a violation of the law is not clear. Your remedy is to first object to any request or action taken and explain your need for accommodation, to try to resolve the issue. If you can show the employer willfully violated the law and refused to remedy and accommodate a legitimate need, then you can consider taking further legal action. If so, feel free to contact me to discuss the facts and evidence.
