In 2022, the EEOC filed 27 ADA lawsuits and resolved 34 ADA complaints. That\u2019s EEOC litigation. Around 4 million Californians have a disability, and 1,338 disability discrimination complaints and 1,338 disability retaliation complaints were filed in the state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/practice_areas\/disability-discrimination-lawyers-shegerian-conniff\/\">Disability discrimination<\/a> in the workplace is a lot more common than you might think. People don\u2019t realize the common misconceptions regarding disability discrimination in the workplace. Discover these common misconceptions and the realities of them.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabled Workers Always Needs Specialized Equipment and Extra Training\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the first misconceptions is that hiring a disabled worker means a company will have to spend thousands on specialized equipment to accommodate that worker. Training is going to take longer and tie up your trainers for a much longer time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some workers may need special accommodations, many don\u2019t. They don\u2019t require more training than others either. Many are just as capable, or even more so, than any other worker. In fact, you might find that some work harder to prove themselves, even though they shouldn\u2019t have to.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabled Workers Ask for Much More Time Off Due to Their Condition<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another common misconception is that disabled workers need a lot of time off due to their physical, mental, or cognitive impairment. Stanford University opted to take a much closer look at this misconception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students at the university looked at almost 10,000 employment records over five years to study absenteeism. On average, workers took an average of 4 days off each year. Workers who filed a claim for short-term disability took an average of 5.2 days. Workers with a long-term disability took an average of 4.3 days each year. Hypertension and ischemic heart disease were the two most common short-term disabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabled Workers Cannot Perform as Well as Able-Bodied Workers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A third misconception regarding disabled workers is that they\u2019re not as capable as able-bodied workers. That\u2019s completely untrue. Many can be stronger than their co-workers. People with physical or cognitive disabilities often work with occupational and physical therapists to overcome any hurdles they may otherwise face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look at Stephen Hawking. He accomplished things many men and women would never dream of accomplishing in fields like quantum mechanics and applied mathematics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabled Workers Don\u2019t Look to Advance in Their Careers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not sure why employees often feel that disabled workers are happy to have a job and stay where they are. Most workers strive to prove themselves worthy of career advancement, and a disabled worker is no different. They want to do their best, prove themselves, and receive a promotion to take on new challenges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another consideration is that disabled managers and trainers will make other workers feel included. The more diverse a workplace is, the more welcoming it is to job applicants and current staff. Happy workers are productive and engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabled Workers Have to Ask for Accommodations Before an Employer Takes Appropriate Action<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s extremely common for management and business owners to wait for a worker to ask for accommodations before doing anything. A workplace doesn\u2019t have to wait until a problem occurs. By being proactive and striving to have an inclusive workplace, it can make a company look better. The publicity that\u2019s gained from being a caring, thoughtful business owner can make your company more appealing to consumers and potential clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabled Workers Must Have a Physical Disability to Gain ADA Protection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an employer feels that only people with a physical disability, such as a military amputee, qualify for ADA protections, it\u2019s a problem. Yet, people don\u2019t associate disabilities like severe social anxiety, depression, or Tourette\u2019s as being disabilities that the ADA protects. They are. It\u2019s important to know exactly what is covered under the ADA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabilities can be permanent or temporary. For example, a pregnancy where gestational diabetes is diagnosed can be a temporary disability. The pregnant woman needs to check her blood sugar and keep her sugar levels well-managed for her and her baby\u2019s health. That\u2019s a temporary situation that will end after she gives birth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabled Workers Need Constant Supervision and Assistance With Their Job Duties<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The seventh misconception on our list is the belief that disabled workers need to be babysat. Some employers feel they need someone with that worker for an entire shift to coach them along. It\u2019s not true. Workers with a disability are competent and able to work independently.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabled Workers Require Accommodations That Are Expensive or Difficult to Implement<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers may refuse to hire someone with a disability due to the costs of accommodations. If a business owner feels the accommodations are too expensive, they\u2019ll use that as an excuse not to hire someone. It\u2019s not true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if accommodations are required, grants and tax deductions are available. The Internal Revenue Code \u2013 Section 190 offers tax deductions for removing some barriers, and a business expense deduction of up to $15,000 to remove barriers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Disabled Access Credit is available to small businesses that have revenues of less than $1 million or no more than 30 full-time employees. Tax credits of up to $10,250 are available for accommodations like interpreters, removing barriers, and auxiliary aids for people with hearing and visual impairments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discrimination Is Always Intentional and Obvious<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discrimination doesn\u2019t have to be intentional. It\u2019s possible to discriminate against a person with a disability and not realize you\u2019re doing it. If your employer has put the time clock out of reach of a wheelchair user, it\u2019s an unconscious act, but it\u2019s hard for that disabled employee to clock in and out without getting someone to help.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discrimination Is Uncommon and Not a Serious Problem<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, employers often believe that disability discrimination is not a serious problem. It doesn\u2019t happen often, right? It\u2019s more common than you might think. If it was uncommon and not a problem, you wouldn&#8217;t ever see court cases regarding disability discrimination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2016, a trucker and the EEOC won a $36+ million verdict against a company that wouldn&#8217;t hire him because he&#8217;s deaf. He&#8217;d completed CDL training and had FMCSA approval, but the company he sued wouldn&#8217;t hire drivers with a hearing impairment. This is one of many recent court cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Truth About Disability Discrimination<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 protects people with mental, physical, or cognitive impairment. Protections cover you at work and when you\u2019re applying for a new job. Discriminatory practices are more than hurtful, they\u2019re illegal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you believe you\u2019ve been the victim of disability discrimination or retaliated against for speaking up, talk to an attorney who specializes in employment law.
