It is estimated that 52 percent of all disabled, working age United States citizens are currently employed. The conditions for Disability discrimination exists in every workplace.

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), disability discrimination occurs when an employer or other designated body treats a disabled individual unfavorably due to the presence of a disability. By law, the employer must provide reasonable accommodations for the individual and may not allow the presence of a disability affect employment status, pay, benefits, job assignments, training or other aspects of an employee’s status with a company. The law also covers prospective employees applying for vacant positions.

Utah’s Anti-Discrimination and Labor Division (UALD) is empowered to act as an agent of the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to enforce the ADA. They receive all charges, first seek to mediate the charges for an early resolution, and then investigate further when needed.

It may be possible to reach a quick settlement with your employer. This is a completely voluntary process that on average takes approximately three months, according to data provided by the EEOC, which could also avoid a prolonged investigation.

However, should an early resolution or settlement not be reached, we continue to fight on your behalf to ensure you have the best legal representation available. You have the right to a fair settlement, and we are with you every step of the way.
