Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Utah

my concern is for my wife. she has been diagnosed with depression and OCD. her boss found out about this and has since been creating an environment that has been exacerbating her condition such as yelling at her in a work settings about her performance, touching/rearranging personal items on her desk, laughing and talking down to her about her condition. I feel that she is being treated unfairly due to her condition. her boss has been setting her up for failure since this. she has been requesting her to do things that would later get her in trouble for doing. I feel this is a hostile work environment that she has been placed in.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act her employer is required to make reasonable accommodations for her disability. It does sound like he is creating a hostile work environment.

If there are more than 15 employees at her work she can file a complaint with the Utah Dept Of Labor, Discrimination Division.
