Disability, Work and the Law

Whatever the challenge you're facing, whether it is something related to pregnancy, or you have influenza, or a more serious issue and you need your employer to work with you, be flexible, compassionate, reasonably accommodate you - make sure that you're documenting all of this, putting it in writing, so you'll have a paper trail, because your employer can’t just be dismissive and cavalier and say, “Sorry, it's too much of a pain in the butt for us, we're not dealing with you anymore.” That would be illegal disability discrimination.
