Treated unfairly at work because of a disability?
← Back to Workplace Discrimination Lawyer
Disability discrimination isn't only about being treated badly because of a disability, it also covers your employer failing to make reasonable adjustments that would let you do your job. Both are protected, and both are worth having looked at.
This might be your situation if
- You asked for a reasonable adjustment (equipment, hours, duties) and it was refused or ignored.
- You were demoted, dismissed, or passed over after disclosing a disability or returning from injury-related leave.
- Your employer assumed you couldn't do something without actually asking you.
- You were treated differently after a workplace injury became a longer-term condition.
Tell us what's happened, including any adjustment you've asked for and how your employer responded, and we'll help you understand where you stand.
Common questions
A change to your role, equipment, or conditions that lets you do your job despite a disability, without imposing unjustifiable hardship on your employer. Refusing to even consider one can itself be discrimination.
Generally your employer needs to know, or reasonably ought to know, about your disability for these protections to apply fully. If you've disclosed it, or it's otherwise apparent, that's usually enough.
