Legal Question in Employment Law in California

It depends on why he was fired. If he was fired because of the medical restrictions, then he may have a claim for wrongful termination. It is unlawful for an employer to fire an employee because of a disability without first engaging in an interactive discussion process and trying to create a reasonable accommodation. In order for the termination to be lawful, there must exist no reasonable accommodation, and keeping the employee on modified work duty must pose an undue hardship for the employer.
